Global Space Collaboration Crucial for Orbit Safety
The growing number of satellites and space debris is making low Earth orbit increasingly congested. Experts emphasize the need for international cooperation and the sharing of data to prevent the orbit from becoming unusable. A UN panel has called for urgent action and the creation of a comprehensive database to manage orbital objects.
The rapid proliferation of satellites and space debris is transforming Earth's orbit into a congested zone, experts have warned. Without international collaboration and data sharing, this crucial area risks becoming unusable.
Industry insiders and analysts urge nations and companies to lay down cooperative frameworks that manage space traffic effectively.
A United Nations panel recently convened, emphasizing the urgent need for a shared database and an enforceable international system to catalog and track orbital objects efficiently.
