Global Effort To Prevent Accidental Collisions In Space
A new UN group is meeting in Vienna to discuss practical measures for improving space situational awareness and preventing accidental collisions in space. The Expert Group on Space Situational Awareness, initiated by the United Arab Emirates, aims to enhance global operational coordination and harmonize data formats across SSA systems. The US is leading the delegation, with NASA and the State Department playing key roles. The group’s efforts may help foster improved relations between the US and China on space safety issues, according to industry officials. The initiative was first reported by Breaking Defense.
