    Title

    Assuring a Safe, Secure and Sustainable Environment for Space Activities

    type

    oral

    Description

    The space environment today involves a growing number of states, government consortia, and private sector entities with different strategic objectives and levels of economic and technological development. It is the responsibility of these actors to promote a secure, stable, and resilient environment in order to ensure uninterrupted access to space and security of space operations in Earth’s orbits and beyond, especially as space systems now support day-to-day civilian and commercial life in many countries, enabling socioeconomic prosperity. A number of established spacefaring nations have developed national policies and strategies to address these concerns. At a multilateral level, a body of principles and rules governing space activities was established during the second half of the twentieth century. However, the rapid pace of the development, testing, and fielding of various launch technologies, as well as on-orbit systems for terrestrial support and exploration of the cis-lunar orbit and beyond, brings unprecedented challenges to all space operators. It is the purpose of this session to seek to address them.
