Addressing the space debris problem requires both remediation of existing waste and prevention of future accumulation. Current prevention strategies include designing satellites with end-of-life deorbiting capabilities, moving defunct satellites to "graveyard orbits," and implementing collision avoidance maneuvers for active spacecraft. Remediation technologies under development range from harpoons and nets to capture large objects to laser systems that could nudge smaller debris into atmospheric reentry paths. The challenge is inherently international, as no single country has jurisdiction over Earth's orbit. The Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee, consisting of major space agencies, develops technical guidelines, while the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space works toward policy frameworks. As commercial space activities accelerate, establishing effective regulatory mechanisms and operational practices becomes increasingly urgent to ensure sustainable use of this limited orbital resource.
