Greetings from Vienna! Almost done with week one of the Legal Subcommittee (LSC) of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS). Core topics are governance of lunar exploration, SpaceTraffic and possible reforms to COPUOS.

"Meteor Shower" is Just Mars Commuter Traffic

Those romantic lights? Wealthy rockets flashing high-beams. "Wishes" are met with honks of "Move it, poor people!"

China and U.S. take initial steps toward space-traffic coordination

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://spacenews.com/china-and-u-s-take-initial-steps-toward-space-traffic-coordination/

Heute endet die diesjährige Sitzung des Rechtsunterausschuss des UN-Weltraumausschusses. In den letzten zwei Wochen wurde in Wien viel diskutiert und intensiv verhandelt, unter anderem der von DEU initiierte Vorschlag eine "Study Group on legal and policy aspects of space traffic" einzurichten. Es war mir eine Ehre und eine Freude, daran mitzuwirken.

Cutting staff from the #SpaceTraffic program, which currently alerts #satellite 🛰️ operators of potential collisions 💥 with debris or other spacecraft, complicates a years-long effort to migrate those alerting ⚠️ duties out of the Pentagon. A #collision notice is an alert that a satellite could collide with another object in space.

@heiseonline einerseits ist das echt beeindruckend und ziemlich cool aber andererseits frage ich mich, wie viele Satellitenkonstellationen unser Orbit wirklich verträgt. #spacetraffic

A global system of #SpaceTraffic management was defined by the International Academy of #Astronautics in its 📆 2006 study as a "set of technical and regulatory provisions for promoting safe access into outer space, operations in #OuterSpace, and return from outer space to #Earth free from physical or radiofrequency interference."

There remains a spectrum of views internationally regarding the feasibility and advisability of an actual international #SpaceTraffic management organization (#ISTMO) https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RBA1949-1.html
