EU's Space Act would track space objects and clear satellite debris

Ambitious new legislation aims to revolutionize Europe's approach to space safety by integrating advanced systems to monitor and track orbital objects while actively managing and removing satellite debris. Experts emphasize that this initiative will not only improve real‐time situational awareness in orbit but also foster international collaboration, reducing the risk of collisions among satellites and other man-made objects. By establishing a framework for debris identification and clearance, the proposed act is seen as a key step toward preserving the longevity and strategic value of space assets in an increasingly congested orbital environment.
