Space Traffic Management (STM)

Space Traffic Management (STM) is the coordination and oversight of spacecraft, satellites, and debris orbiting Earth to prevent collisions and ensure safe, sustainable use of space. It involves tracking objects, sharing information among nations and companies, and establishing guidelines for responsible behavior in space. As more entities utilize space for communication, navigation, and research, STM helps manage the increasing congestion, reduce risks, and maintain the long-term accessibility of space for everyone. Essentially, STM acts like air traffic control for Earth's orbital environment, ensuring safe and efficient movement of space assets.
