🌠🚗 Imagine racing down a highway at night with no rules, no headlights, and thousands of other drivers you can't see. This is what our orbits look like but there is some hope to avoid this situation, as systems exist that provide space situational awareness and tracking services.

At the Legal Subcommittee of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (#COPUOS2025), #UNOOSA hosted a side event on 6 May, entitled "𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰: 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 – 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿?".

Moderated by 🇺🇳 Director Aarti Holla-Maini, the event opened with a presentation by Rodolphe Muñoz from the 🇪🇺 europeancommission unpacking the differences between Space Traffic Management (STM) and Space Traffic Coordination (STC).

📢Aarti Holla-Maini said: “𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘊𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵, 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵."

A panel discussion with satellite operators included Amber Charlesworth from
amazonprojectkuiper, Abdulhadi Alhassani from ARABSAT and Alex Cacioni from viasat, who shared their hands-on experience and perspectives on coordination, information-sharing, and safe space operations.
