Assessment of orbital capacity thresholds through long-term simulations of the debris environment

Francesca Letizia et al.

Summary: The simulation of the future debris population evolution is used to assess mitigation actions and current behaviors. The extrapolated scenario based on historical trends is compared to a reference scenario to evaluate the distance from a sustainable environment. The capacity approach enables the identification of thresholds for debris risk level to enhance mitigation guidelines.

Environmental limits to the space sector's growth

Lois Miraux

Summary: This paper comprehensively analyzes the major environmental impacts of space activities and their potential growth, highlighting issues such as space debris and light pollution. The suggestion to establish thresholds within the planetary boundaries framework to support awareness-raising and policy-making is proposed. The importance of environmental limits resulting from factors like rocket emissions and reentry particles is discussed, emphasizing the need for ecodesign in the space sector.

The case for space environmentalism

Andy Lawrence et al.

Summary: This article summarizes the case for considering the orbital space surrounding the Earth as an additional ecosystem and emphasizes the urgency and importance of addressing environmental issues in this region. It suggests that we should pay attention to and regulate damage to the orbital space environment, similar to how we manage the oceans and the atmosphere, while considering the impact on astronomy, stargazing, and the sustainability of commercial, civic, and military activities in space.

Astro-Environmentalism: Towards a Polycentric Governance of Space Debris

Jean-Frederic Morin et al.

Summary: The Earth's orbital space is threatened by debris, leading to a 'tragedy of the commons' scenario. Scholars have proposed three categories of policy solutions, all requiring central coordination, but a decentralized, polycentric system might be a more sustainable approach according to Elinor Ostrom.

Evaluating the impact of space activities in low earth orbit

Carmen Pardini et al.

Summary: The analysis of cataloged orbital debris in low Earth orbit over the past 25 years showed that while there has not been exponential growth, the overall situation has worsened, requiring greater caution in planning and conducting new space activities. This highlights the importance of enforcing more effective debris mitigation and remediation measures during the upcoming years with many planned launches in the 2020s.

Historical Evolution of the Concept of Space Traffic Management Since 1932: The Need for a Change of Terminology

Quentin Verspieren

Summary: Although space traffic management (STM) has been extensively studied, there is still confusion around its nature, origins, and historical developments. The article suggests questioning the concept itself and moving beyond the term 'management' to focus on promoting standardization and communication among stakeholders.
