The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) is a United Nations committee whose main task is to review and foster international cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space, as well as to consider legal issues arising from the exploration of outer space. [1] [2]
The Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) is an inter-governmental forum whose aim is to co-ordinate efforts to deal with debris in orbit around the Earth founded in 1993. The primary purposes of the IADC is information exchange on space debris research activities, facilitating opportunities for joint research, and reviewing ...
Although the UN Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines were promulgated in 2007 as an initial measure of space debris governance, there is still no broad consensus or action on further limits on space debris after that. The difficulties for individuals wishing to participate in debris management initiatives cannot be ignored.

In 2002 after a multi-year effort, the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC), comprising the space agencies of 10 countries as well as ESA, adopted a consensus set of guidelines designed to mitigate the growth of the orbital debris population. These guidelines were formally presented to the Scientific and Technical ...
The fragments can then hit other objects, producing even more space debris: if a large enough collision or explosion were to occur, such as between a space station and a defunct satellite, or as the result of hostile actions in space, then the resulting debris cascade could make prospects for long-term viability of satellites in particular low ...
The issue of space debris has been raised as a mitigation challenge for missions around the Moon with the danger of increasing space debris around it. [ 251 ] [ 252 ] It is thought that on 4 March 2022, for the first time, human space debris—most likely a spent rocket body , Long March 3C third stage from the 2014 Chang'e 5 T1 mission ...
UNOOSA works primarily to implement the decisions of UN General Assembly and of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.The office has the dual objective of supporting the intergovernmental discussions in the Committee and its Scientific and Technical Subcommittee [24] and Legal Subcommittee, [25] and of assisting developing countries in using space technology for development.
