| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Orbital debris, trapped in the Earth's gravity, presents a real and growing threat to human activity in space. This essay investigates the technical and legal environments within which the problem exists, questioning the available technical remedies and the applicability of space law to the current situation. This leads to an examination of whether the physical problem of debris reveals a need to reconsider the manner in which Earth orbit is conceptualised. The conclusion assesses the scope of the problem and the policy implications which it will have. |
