Satellites are crowding orbital space, particularly Low Earth Orbit, exacerbating the risk of orbital debris. Here, measures across the satellite life cycle are recommended to promote space sustainability including stronger regulations, fiscal and market-based interventions, multilateral institutions, and active debris removal.
卫星正充斥着轨道空间,尤其是近地轨道,这加剧了轨道碎片的风险。在此,建议在卫星生命周期内采取各项措施以促进太空可持续性,包括更严格的监管、基于财政和市场的干预措施、多边机构以及积极的碎片清除行动。
