We can no longer afford to launch new satellites into our skies without being thoughtful about space sustainability... Our orbital debris mitigation efforts will help preserve the orbital environment to protect services we rely on and allow new services to be launched.
A satellite or rocket body that has not been passivated has the potential to explode... No debris-emitting explosions, please.
Current guidance calls for minimizing the probability of an accidental explosion but stops short of setting a figure. Rosenworcel has called for that figure to be less than 1 in 1,000.
