Exploring the legal framework of Space Situational Awareness activities
Space Situational Awareness (SSA) has become a maor issue in the international debate due to the growth of commercial space activities and the correspondent increase of obects orbiting around the Earth. As no State can conduct a comprehensive monitoring of the whole space environment and orbits, SSA requires a strong international cooperation both on the technical aspects of surveillance and on the sharing of information acquired. In this sense, States conclude bilateral agreements and public-private arrangements to promote wider exchange of information.
