Space Policy: CSPS Paper: Updating Policy and Standards for Cislunar Sustainability
In anticipation of compliance challenges for civil and military missions, Aerospace undertook a cislunar-focused review of three foundational documents on space-debris mitigation, disposal, and safety of flight. This report from the Center of Space Policy and Strategy found that many aspects of operating in the cislunar regime are incompatible with the current guidelines and requirements.
Insights from Space Safety Institute
The Space Safety Institute (SSI) leverages Aerospace's longstanding technical and policy expertise to research and address space safety issues. The Space Safety Compendium describes priority issues and recommendations for the future sustainability of space operations. SSI also produced a report recommending a future-proof framework for commercial human spaceflight safety, based on an analysis of other transportation sectors, with a roadmap to an ideal future where human spaceflight is a common practice.
