“…There have been many proposals investigated in the past ten years discussing the need and the requirements for some sort of coordinated space traffic management [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. These works have mainly focused on legal coordination for traffic management, as well as the challenges to developing a systematic and effective system for the safe and easy access to space.…”

“…Currently there is no set system for checking launch clearance. In [8], Cukurtepe discussed the data transfer and permission systems that are currently in use for tracking and resolving space traffic management. This method has many moving parts and is reliant upon many key individuals to assess the current space traffic situation.…”

Launch and on orbit operations for debris-field avoidance has been an issue in the community for many years. However, with the increase in commercial space traffic, the need for assessing the risk of space activities has become more important. In this paper, we used the situation-risk assessment (SRA) method contained within the intelligent situation assessment and collision avoidance (iSC) platform to develop a risk analysis of space operations. We defined the concept of a launch theater and developed a risk metric to assess the chance of collision when traveling through the low earth orbit (LEO) debris field. Then, we then used this concept to make decisions that lowered the launch risk. Finally, this method was applied to objects already in orbit attempting to make decisions on how to avoid debris while also attempting to keep the necessary orbital parameters for mission success.

“…The growing traffic of satellites around the globe [1] has led to voluntary or involuntary creation of multi-satellite systems where more than one satellite operates over a geographical region. Therefore, it is mandatory to study the coexistence and implications of such systems.…”

“…Here is where we can identify a first challenge and learn a lesson from history, preventing space from becoming a lawless "wild west" where the strongest can take an unfair advantage. This should apply to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), where the current regulatory framework should be further developed and enforced to manage the increasing "space traffic" (Cukurtepe and Akgun, 2009;Lal et al, 2018) (to prevent interferences or collisions between assets of different operators), as well as to Medium (MEO) or Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) and interplanetary exploration and exploitation. Indeed, new regulations should be implemented respecting established treaties and principles (e.g., "Outer Space Treaty" or the "Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects").…”

With the launch of Sputnik in 1957 and the subsequent beginning of the space age, the progression of Space Technologies has, on the one hand, led to the development of hundreds of applications (Pelton et al., 2017) that use satellite data, including devices for everyday use, from satellite televisions to the Satnav in our cars. On the other, it has underpinned scientific progress in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences as well as in Astronomy and Astrophysics. Just to recall some of the highest public profile contributions from the field, satellite measurements showed the extent of the ozone layer depletion in the atmosphere and the existence of exoplanets and black holes have been confirmed, among many other scientific advances. The rapid progress made in Space Technology led to extraordinary accomplishments for the whole human race, such as the Moon landing. At the same time, these space missions have provided powerful iconic imagery for humanity, and photos like the Blue Marble (Wuebbles, 2012) have become universally recognized symbols of our planet and its extraordinary environment and finite resources. Although the spectacular progress in Space Technologies slowed down toward the end of the past century, together with that of the whole Aerospace sector, very important achievements continued to be made. These include the development of the International Space Station and the robotic exploration of other planets and celestial bodies, including landing on a comet! Through the years, space has often been identified as the new frontier, fueling the imagination of writers and film directors, who created visions (more or less plausible) of a future enabled by fantastic developments in Space Technologies. However, consistent with what history has shown us, is the fact that, after an initial phase of "exploration" of a new environment and consolidation of the relevant technologies, what follows is an explosion of businesses to exploit the new opportunities offered by the new environment. This is where we are today. Sometimes called Space 4.0, we are in a period that has seen a shift of paradigms, with changes of motivations, actors, and, indeed, technologies (PWC Report, 2019).
