"As of today, any verified satellite operator anywhere in the world can look up an emergency contact for any other verified operator in a single, neutral, institutionally backed platform — for the first time in the history of spaceflight. The gap that platform fills is not technical. It is logistical. And in a low Earth orbit environment where the CRASH Clock research project page now reads 2.2 days, logistics are everything."

"For now, people are more likely to be struck by lightning than by falling space junk. But those odds are shifting. Sean O’Keefe, a former NASA administrator, ... and other experts say that governments and companies should be compelled to use materials that will fully disintegrate. No such regulation exists."

We just filed a formal Reply Comment with the FCC opposing Cowboy Space’s massive 20,000-satellite data center constellation. Instead of addressing the scientific and technical concerns we presented, Cowboy Space relied almost entirely on procedural deflections.
We won't let orbital greenwashing go unchallenged.

"If all satellites in orbit suddenly lost the ability to manoeuvre and control their orientation, how long would it take for two to come close enough to crash? In 2018, before megaconstellations began launching, the CRASH Clock value was 164 days. It has been steadily dropping since then. Our new research finds that as of May 2026, it is at 2.5 days."

Space exploration does not have to follow the logic of colonialism.
Although this event was already on June 19th, I want to highlight the important work from this multidisciplinary initiative.

Final day of the ESA RAMS conference at ESTEC in Noordwijk/NL. 💪 I already learned a lot, like on recent advancements on the calculation of the probability of successful disposal (PSD) of space objects. 🛰️🚀 Today, ESA astronaut Samantha Christoforetti 👩🚀 will give a keynote.
And it was a great opportunity to exchange with other RAMS experts from all around the world! 🌍

🌌 Above us, an invisible constellation grows. Not of stars, but of our own making: fragments racing through the dark at unfathomable speeds, each piece a ghost of ambition turned hazard.
✍️ Explore the cascade we cannot see 🛰️: https://TPC8.short.gy/IZaOxCi5
💫 What we send skyward returns as legacy, sometimes circling for decades or longer in silent judgment.

The advent of reusable rockets led to a dramatic increase of space waste influx into the atmosphere - thanks to non-reusable upper stages. About half of the influx is coming from Space Karen. From a recent paper by Schulz et al. https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.21328 #SpaceSustainability
