Orbital debris requires prevention and mitigation across the satellite life cycle
Satellites are crowding orbital space, particularly Low Earth Orbit, exacerbating the risk of orbital debris. Here, measures across the satellite life cycle are recommended to promote space sustainability including stronger regulations, fiscal and market-based interventions, multilateral institution...
