Orbital slot overcrowding in GEO

Limited geostationary orbital slots are becoming increasingly congested, raising collision risks and limiting future access.

Outer Space Treaty (1967) International UN Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines International

Obligations (1)

ITU frequency coordination

Medium

Operators must coordinate radio frequency usage through the ITU to prevent harmful interference with other space and terrestrial services.

ITU Radio Regulations

Opportunities (2)

Active debris removal services

High

Invest in or support active debris removal missions to clean up orbital environments, reducing collision risk for all operators.

AI-driven collision avoidance

High

Deploy machine learning algorithms to improve conjunction assessment accuracy and automate collision avoidance manoeuvres, reducing fuel usage and collision probability.
