Space Traffic Management and Orbital Debris a Position Paper
Space Traffic Management and Orbital Debris A Position Paper Provided By Association of Space Explorers 141 Bay Area Blvd Webster, TX 77598 15 July 2020 INTRODUCTION The Association of Space Explorers (ASE) is an international nonprofit professional and educational organization of over 400 flown astronauts and cosmonauts from 38 nations. Membership in ASE is open to individuals who have completed at least one orbit of the Earth in a spacecraft. ASE member countries include Afghanistan, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, and Vietnam. When Sputnik was launched in 1957 there was only one man made object in orbit. Now there are over 500,000 spacecraft and space debris objects orbiting the earth. Because these objects travel at speeds on the order of 8 kilometers per second, even a very small piece of material represents a hazard to other spacecraft should a collision (conjunction) occur. Great effort is underway to better understand the orbits of all of these objects and to develop the capability to identify potential collisions. ASE fully supports activities aimed at making operations in earth orbit safe, efficient, and collegial, and is often asked for “the astronaut’s/cosmonaut’s perspective” on subjects that fall under these headings. Space Traffic Management and Orbital Debris are two such topics where ASE sees the need for a coordinated, international effort to insure safe and efficient operations in earth orbit. -
