The Outer Space Institute is warning of the ‘fast-growing risk’ to humanity as rocket launches keep rising to put increasing numbers of satellites into orbit
Canada and spacefaring countries, including the United States and China, are being asked to take action to reduce the risks posed by rocket debris falling back to Earth.
Signatories include retired Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, Brian J. Egan, a former chief legal adviser to the U.S. Department of State during the Obama administration, and three former directors of space agencies, including France’s Gérard Brachet. It is addressed to the leaders of space agencies around the world, including Lisa Campbell, president of the Canadian Space Agency, and her counterparts in the U.S. , China, Russia, the European Union, Japan and India.
In 2020, pieces of China’s Long March 5B rocket falling back to Earth damaged buildings in the Ivory Coast. In 2018, titanium pressure vessels from the upper stage of a Russian Zenit rocket crashed in Peru.
