UNIDIR — UN Institute for Disarmament Research's #OuterSpace #Security Conference just wrapped up in #Geneva, addressing critical issues in space #security and #safety, #dual-use tech, #transparency, space #debris, and more. ✴ Some highlights from Day 2: Chris Blackerby (Astroscale) discussed how the commercial sector can offer faster, more efficient, and cost-effective solutions to space safety and security, often outperforming governments. Victoria Fernanda Valdivia Cerda (Academia Nacional de Estudios Políticos y Estratégicos) introduced the term #technologicalpollution, highlighting the impact of space debris on #Antarctica —a reminder of how space activities can have far-reaching environmental consequences. Jessica West emphasized the need to clearly define the boundaries of #dual-use technologies to prevent them from turning into #safety risks. This is crucial as technology in space often crosses between civilian and military use. Darren McKnight (LeoLabs) posed a direct question: "why do we still allow abandoned or broken rockets to remain in orbit for 25 years? Would you leave your broken car on the motorway for 25 years?" He called for #accountability: "Pick up your trash." The divide within the space sector on this issue is evident, with some pushing hard for change while others continue to contribute to orbital clutter without much care. Thomas González Roberts presented data showing that averagely only 64% of satellites in GEO orbits comply with orbital prescriptions, with Russia at 44%. This raises concerns about the enforcement of guidelines.

Visiting the United Nations in #Geneva was a real treat and I am grateful to Almudena Azcárate Ortega and Victoria Samson for inviting me to speak. Check out their work, and especially their recently published volume "A Lexicon for Outer Space Security". I am a big fan of small conferences like the UNIDIR — UN Institute for Disarmament Research Outer Space Security Conference. They allow you to exchange bold ideas, meet new colleagues, catch up with old friends (Madin Maseeh was great to see you again!), and listen to very clever people elaborate freely on the most diverse themes. I highly recommend it. 'Till next time!
