Space Governance Database

The space governance database contains industry best practices, norms, treaties, principles, recommendations, and guidelines focused on safety of flight, radio frequency interference (RFI), space situational awareness (SSA), and space traffic management (STM). The Space Safety Institute hosts and periodically updates this international body of knowledge, developed in collaboration with AIAA, to aid existing and new entrants into the space enterprise.
