Space Safety: New Rules for Orbital Object Traffic

This act aims to improve space operations safety by better tracking orbital objects and coordinating traffic. Citizens may benefit from increased security of space technologies that impact daily services like navigation and communication. The act introduces free access to space object data, which can help prevent collisions.
Key points
The government will collect and publicly provide, free of charge, data on the location and behavior of space objects to prevent collisions.
The Office of Space Commerce will be strengthened and made responsible for monitoring space traffic, which should increase satellite safety.
The act protects companies providing space data from lawsuits, encouraging information sharing and technological development.
