Jason Forshaw from @astroscale_ returns to #orbitaldebris2019 to talk about advocacy for global policy around #spacedebris removal [it's a shame that @cweeden couldn't make it!]

[Interesting to see the mass target for debris removal is 1000 kg. It's a nice, round number. Would be good to see some evidence showing that this is a good threshold]

Jason calls for more transparency with respect to the sharing of spacecraft anomalies, citing UN COPUOS LTS guidelines and noting that this is common practice in the aviation industry

Jason mentions the positive work done by @spacegovuk in advocating for #spacedebris removal

Industry and government should strive to achieve greater success of post-mission disposal. Debris removal is still needed and can complement post-mission disposal
