.@braunspace from @esa space debris office talking about the Space Safety Programme at #orbitaldebris2019
The talk is at a fairly Hugh level, so not many details of the underlying engineering solutions, but some interesting points emerging. E.g. desire to bring laser ranging into collision risk management to reduce orbit uncertainty
Environmental capacity is another focus of the programme. ESA aiming to understand what population can be maintained for a "stable environment" [but seemed to use a non-stable solution to illustrate this]
Mention of the recent collision avoidance manoeuvre with respect to Starlink and how this highlighted a lack of transparency in the process [and, IMHO, a slight lack of diplomacy - build bridges don't burn them]
