| Summary/Abstract |
With an increasing reliance on space-based capabilities for national infrastructure and a growing focus on potential opportunities around the space industry, Ian Annett and Roddy Dennis argue that there is a requirement for improved Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and more coherent regulation and governance at national and international levels. They consider the current approach to SSA and offer an analysis of the existing regulatory framework, before proposing a future approach for the UK.

| Summary/Abstract |
With the rising number of man-made space objects, space situational awareness becomes increasingly important for space faring nations. International cooperation and exchange of data and information are prerequisites. Different forms of cooperation are possible and national policies have an impact. New players of the information industry can take over roles in space situational awareness. This article examines how principles like international cooperation, responsibility, liability and the obligations to register space objects under the existing space treaties apply to space situational awareness.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article discusses the utility and limitations of existing space surveillance networks to address the issue of spaceflight safety and proposes a way forward. Specifically, it begins with a brief explanation of why space situational awareness (SSA) is important and draws attention to the existing major SSA networks followed by a brief summary of the major limitations of the US, Russian and Chinese networks. These limitations highlight why we collectively need to craft a better and more efficient mechanism. Finally, it concludes with a techno-political elucidation for the future.

| Summary/Abstract |
Space is a strategic sector, integral to virtually every facet of life in Europe, thus protection of this vital European space infrastructure is critical. No European organization, however, is able to provide a sufficiently independent assessment of the space environment. Efforts, therefore, are being pursued to develop an integrated Space Situational Awareness (SSA) capability in Europe. This article reviews the undertaking of SSA in Europe and the roles played by the European Union (EU) and the European Space Agency (ESA). It examines some of the obstacles ESA has faced in implementing its SSA efforts, challenges which range from budgetary limitations to the refusal of member states to share their military facilities, with the result being that ESA focuses on space weather and near-Earth objects rather than the more controversial and national security aspects of SSA, space surveillance and tracking (SST). The article also assesses the European Commission’s proposal for establishing a SST support program and coordinating European states’ SST assets while the national European governments—namely, their respective military authorities—retain control of SST sensor and processing functions.
