"To approve [the Reflect Orbital #FCC application], after so many people, and so many experts like the ecologists, and scientific groups like the American Astronomical Society told you not to? It sure sounds arbitrary and capricious to me, and perhaps in this, when future litigation digs into that record, we might also find the kernel of its undoing."

The story of humanity in space is still being written, but the ink is drying fast.

CSE co-founders John Barentine and Aparna Venkatesan have published a new call to action in Frontiers in Space Technologies. They argue that we must look beyond outdated treaties to secure a just and sustainable future.

We have the agency to decide what happens next. Let’s build a future by design, not by default.

Is the Outer Space Treaty becoming a "League of Nations" for the cosmos?

In a new Opinion piece for Frontiers, we argue that existing space governance isn't fit for the era of private satellite megaconstellations. To protect our shared heritage, we need a shift toward "Space Environmentalism."

We still have the chance to build a future by design rather than by default—if we act before these norms are set in stone.

We maintain that the FCC must uphold legal mandates by requiring a comprehensive environmental review before granting any authority that alters our shared nighttime environment.

"With the rapid expansion of commercial space flight, thousands of satellites are being launched each year. Yet few owners have plans to remove them from orbit in a controlled way. Everyone, everywhere — on Earth’s surface, flying in aeroplanes, as well as in space — is increasingly at risk from these projectiles. Space-faring nations and companies must urgently address this threat."

"Satellite technology has transitioned from a tool of scientific exploration to a
mechanical entity of global control. This paper argues that modern satellite technology reinforces capitalist and patriarchal structures, concentrating power in the hands of the elite."

We are proud to announce the launch of the Center for Space Environmentalism!

CSE is a group of scholars and experts who inform and advocate for issues pertaining to the protection of the increasingly crowded #space environment. It is intended in part to counter the prevailing narrative about the 'inevitable' commercial development and exploitation of outer space. We welcome dialog and interaction with anyone interested in these topics.

Bad news for the impact of increasing rocket launches on the terrestrial #environment: "Our ‘ambitious’ scenario (2,040 launches/year) leads to a -0.29% depletion in annual-mean, near-global total column #ozone, relative to a simulation with no rocket launches. Antarctic springtime ozone decreases by 3.9%. Our ‘conservative’ scenario (884 launches/year) leads to a -0.17% annual depletion; current licensing rates suggest this scenario may be exceeded sooner than 2030."

"At this critical moment, the public is largely unaware of its dependence on #space. ... This is why we are calling now for the creation and development of a new topic in environmental education called 'space literacy' to complement contemporary space science instruction."
