SWF is glad to see Rogue Space Systems Corporation emphasizing the critical importance of reducing debris in LEO and the ongoing threat posed by past ASAT tests. Rogue’s close encounter with debris from the 2007 Chinese ASAT test is a stark reminder of the long-lasting impact space debris has on the safety and sustainability of all space actors. SWF believes that collaboration between private and governmental space actors is essential for preserving the long-term use of space. We’re proud to have contributed to efforts like the Space Industry Statement in Support of International Commitments to Not Conduct ASAT Tests, alongside initiatives like the #ZeroDebrisCharter led by the European Space Agency - ESA, which set clear standards and norms for responsible space behavior. Thank you to Rogue Space Systems for the shout-out and for their commitment to best practices in space sustainability. If you are a commercial space actor and interested in signing this statement, please visit the link below: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gVb-QCtd
From 17 to 28 August 2024, our spacecraft Barry-1 came within a range of roughly 200-415meters of debris originating with the 2007 Chinese ASAT test. (Image credit: Kayhan Space)The debris was created over fifteen years ago at significantly higher altitudes, and it still poses a threat to all LEO space actors today. For Rogue, this highlights the importance of all actors, both private and governmental, adopting norms of behavior and best practices for the long-term sustainability of space activities. We applaud both governments and private actors who take steps to adopt, promote and implement best practices. Special shout out to initiatives like SWF's Space Industry Statement in Support of International Commitments to Not Conduct ASAT Tests and the #zerodebrischarter for creating clear metrics for space actors to measure themselves.
