Space debris puts exploration at risk
Dov Greenbaum
Abstract
Humans have now lived aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for 20 years (1). As we look toward the next 20 years, we must address the dangers that space debris poses to both manned missions and crucial satellites. National policy-makers and international organizations must develop actionable rules and regulations that preserve our ability to explore space.
