The principal risk factors are the spatial density and average relative collisional velocity along the orbit (altitude and inclination) of the space object of interest, the cross sectional area of the space object and the duration of the flight.

Secondly, a beam park mode of operation to collect data on the population density of man made space objects in defined space volumes.

We are not aware of any special regulations governing take off and landing or the departure of space objects from airspace or their return to it.

The space debris population density is derived from radar observations of defined space volumes in the beam park mode of operation.

The long term space policy of ESA also identified NEO research as a task that should be actively pursued.

The Meeting suggested that the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space encourage entities of the United Nations system to participate in the work of the Inter Agency Meeting on Outer Space Activities.

For space objects large enough to be tracked by ground based space surveillance systems, collision avoidance during orbital insertion and on orbit operations is technically possible.

According to the spatial approach, an aerospace object is deemed as an aircraft subject to air law in airspace and is deemed as a space object subject to space law in outer space.

(b) Currently, depending on size, fragments from explosions are the main source of space debris.

The deterministic data can go into a catalogue of space objects, as well as the statistical information on numbers of detected objects of a given size in a given region at a certain time.

For space objects large enough to be tracked by ground based space surveillance systems (greater than 10 30 cm), collision avoidance during orbital insertion and on orbit operations is technically possible.

remain in airspace for a certain period of time?

Therefore, it is the space regime and not the air regime of the State through whose airspace the aerospace object passes incidentally which applies to aerospace objects.

As the term space object in the Convention includes such object as is launched into orbits over Earth and outer space, it is difficult to conclude that the term space object in the Convention includes the aerospace object.

Until special procedures about an aerospace object are prepared, the aerospace object flying in the airspace, especially in a certain State apos s territorial airspace, is considered as an aircraft and the aerospace object located in outer space is considered as a space object which is subject to space law.

These latter objects may be under the same legal consideration as aerospace objects in outer space.

People confuse footprint with spacing.

(b) Space law applies to aerospace objects travelling through outer space.

Aerospace objects should be regarded as aircraft in airspace and as spacecraft in space.

It was necessary to decide whether an aerospace object was to be categorized as a space object when it was in airspace on its way to its orbit or on its return from space.

The view was expressed that an international centre could be established with the aim of providing information and advance warning on explosions in space, fragmentation of space objects and possible collision of space objects with space debris.

15. Manned spacecraft, particularly space stations, are normally larger than most unmanned vehicles and must demonstrate higher safety standards.

First the physical constraints. We actually had to operate on three discrete sites, all of them well, well smaller than the size of the building.

The spacing is something else.

OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND The registration data are reproduced in the form in which they were received.

Few delegations considered it wise to seek a general dividing line between outer space and airspace and between space objects and other flight objects.

The States with major space capabilities had a greater responsibility to contribute actively to the prevention of the militarization of outer space.

An aerospace object is an object which is capable both of travelling through outer space and of using its aerodynamic properties to move through airspace.

Our preference is actually that aerospace objects should have a single designation as space objects, but should nevertheless be subject to the relevant provisions of air law while in airspace.
