Orbital Sustainability Called a Strategic Imperative in New Space Race
Original: New Space Race: Why Orbital Sustainability Is A Strategic Imperative
A new analysis argues that the modern space race is no longer only about reaching orbit first, but about keeping orbit usable. With satellite constellations multiplying and debris risk rising, the piece frames orbital sustainability as a core strategic priority for spacefaring nations, urging coordinated debris mitigation, traffic management and long-term stewardship of low Earth orbit before crowding and collisions undermine access to space.
Why now: Growing concern over satellite congestion and space debris is pushing orbital sustainability into strategic policy debate.
