Space Traffic Coordination: An Ongoing Conversation About Regional Needs and Information Sharing

Space traffic coordination (STC) refers to systems and processes which - encompassing space situational awareness (SSA) information sharing as well as operational guidelines or practices - seek to reduce the potential for collisions and other incidents in space that could create debris or other safety risks for space activities. STC is an enabler of increased safety and sustainability in space activities.

A multi-stakeholder approach is essential to moving forward with effective implementation of STC. This workshop will focus on engaging direct viewpoints from the participants at GSTCE on the needs for STC and on how national, regional, and multilateral initiatives towards STC (including SSA information sharing) connect with these needs. This workshop, co-organized by SWF and the Office for Space Technology & Industry, Singapore, will seek to identify common drivers and/or needs for improved STC as represented in the Asia-Pacific region.

Please see the Global Space Technology Convention & Exhibition (GSTCE) website for more information on the conference and its program (including workshops).
