Europe has built and continues to expand a 19-nation EU SST (Space Surveillance and Tracking) network, now operating more than 150 sensors. The UAE has spearheaded the creation of a UN SSA Expert Group, the first global forum dedicated to technical coordination. Across Southeast Asia, ASEAN nations are actively linking data centres, pooling expertise, and building shared capacity. Meanwhile, private actors such as SDA, GMV, Spaceflux, and BULL are already deploying operational tools and setting de facto norms, well ahead of regulation.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2025/12/spacewatchgl-opinion-clearing-the-air-the-early-science-and-big-unknowns-of-spaces-atmospheric-footprint/ Thu, 18 Dec 2025 09:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=69554

Every object we launch must eventually return: burning, melting, vaporising into particulates that join the upper atmosphere. Until recently, these processes were largely unstudied. At the Summit, the “Clearing the Air” spotlight talk and panel revealed how early we still are: the evidence is intriguing, the mechanisms uncertain, and the need for scientific collaboration undeniable.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2025/12/spacewatchgl-what-happens-in-space-better-not-stay-in-space/ Thu, 11 Dec 2025 09:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=69556

In November 2021, a Russian missile blasted one of its own satellites, Cosmos-1408, into more than 1,500 trackable fragments and countless smaller splinters. Within hours, astronauts aboard the International Space Station were forced to take cover. The physics was inevitable, the lesson still stings: debris creates more debris, the clock on orbital safety is ticking and space still has no cleanup crew.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/06/space-investment-tracker-launched-at-new-york-summit/ Fri, 16 Jun 2023 06:00:41 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=49451 Euroconsult, a global strategy consulting and market intelligence firm specialising in the space sector and satellite-enabled verticals, launched its new Financing and Transactions Database during the Secure World Forum’s Summit for Space Sustainability in New York. ]]> https://spacewatch.global/2019/09/on-war-debris-and-commerce-in-space/ Sun, 29 Sep 2019 08:00:33 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=16164 https://spacewatch.global/2019/07/spacewatchgl-oped-krystal-wilson-of-secure-world-foundation-about-summit-for-space-sustainability/ Sun, 28 Jul 2019 08:00:21 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=15267 Last March, Secure World Foundation was pleased to announce the inaugural Summit for Space Sustainability, to be held in Washington, DC on June 25-26, 2019.
