Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines
Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines are recommended practices designed to reduce clutter in Earth's orbit. They aim to minimize the creation of new debris by encouraging responsible satellite and rocket stages management, such as de-orbiting or moving them to safe "graveyard" zones after use. The guidelines promote designing spacecraft to lower collision risks and ensure long-term sustainability of space activities. By following these measures, we help prevent excessive space debris, which can threaten satellites, space missions, and future exploration efforts. These practices are voluntary but widely adopted by space agencies and organizations worldwide to safeguard Earth’s orbital environment.
