- The World Economic Forum (WEF) and the European Space Agency (ESA) jointly released the Space Industry Debris Mitigation Recommendations.
- It aims to mitigate the space debris problem.
- The spacecraft operators try to get satellites removed from low-Earth orbit within 5 years after the end of the mission.
- Missions that orbit above an altitude of 375 kilometres should have an ability to actively manage the orbit.
- The guidelines encourage a propulsion-based system but other technologies could be more appropriate depending on the situation.
- Third-party liability insurance organizations should consider incentives for sustainable missions, and appropriate safety measures should be implemented
- It encourages industry players to further study the objects in orbit—the population, evolution, and the interaction between them.
- Russia has the most space debris with over 7000 rocket bodies floating in space.
