"The #DarkAndQuietSkies Campaign serves us well to remember that the governance of #OuterSpace is not simply about money and geopolitics. The values of science and culture also have a place. As you follow the track of a #satellite across the night sky this week, consider what kind of sky and scientific legacy we want to leave for future generations."

Earlier today I gave an astronomy- and policy-focused talk on obtrusive space advertising in the Dark & Quiet Skies context for the long-running Future In-Space Operations (FISO) Telecon series.
The (audio) recording and my slides are available on: https://fiso.spiritastro.net/telecon/Barentine_4-16-25/

"[W]hile [astronomers] continue to work on satellite interference issues, they are expanding their work to other topics broadly associated with space sustainability. These issues range from the threat of obtrusive space advertising and reentries that interfere with their observations to the danger of confusing asteroids with flying Teslas."
Comprehensive reporting by @jeff_foust for @spacenews_inc on Dark & Quiet Skies at #AAS245.

Can we really achieve a "zero debris" future in orbital space? The European Space Agency thinks so, and it offers this prescription for how to get there.
Among its chief objectives: "protect dark and quiet skies".
