New Space Race Puts Orbital Sustainability in Focus
Original: New Space Race: Why Orbital Sustainability Is A Strategic Imperative
As more countries and private companies launch satellites at record pace, attention is turning to the growing problem of orbital debris and congestion in Earth's orbit. Analysts argue that keeping orbits usable is now a strategic imperative alongside national prestige and commercial gain, and are calling for stronger international coordination on debris removal, collision avoidance and rules of behaviour in space.
Why now: Rising satellite launches and debris concerns have made the sustainability of Earth's orbits a pressing policy debate.
