Biggest concern is natural space debris specifically micrometeoroids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1970s:<\/strong>\u00a0Explosions begin creating more human-generated space debris. Kessler &amp; Cour-Palais warn human-generated space debris may eventually become bigger threat than natural space debris.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1980s:<\/strong>\u00a0More explosions, Space Station Freedom, and military ASAT testing create high-level awareness of space debris. Need to minimize creation of space debris from human activities in Space. Ronald Reagan &#8211; Minimize creation of space debris in tests, experiments, and systems. George HW Bush &#8211; Encourage other countries to adopt space debris minimization policies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1990s:<\/strong>\u00a0Need guidelines to minimize the creation of space debris through on-orbit activities. Adoption of national &amp; international mitigation guidelines can slow growth. Bill Clinton \u2013 Develop design guidelines for space debris minimization, and take a leadership role in promoting international adoption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2000s:\u00a0<\/strong>Chinese ASAT test and Iridium-Cosmos collision undo progress from mitigation guidelines. Need to develop collision warning &amp; avoidance measures. George W Bush &#8211; Follow national orbital debris mitigation standards, and incorporate into licensing of commercial satellites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2010s:<\/strong>\u00a0Post-mission disposal not enough, needs to be combined with remediation. Barack Obama &#8211; Preserve the space environment, foster development of space collision warning measures, and research debris removal technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1960s:\u00a0Need to better understand space environmental threats to human spaceflight [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/intergalacticbar.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3098"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/intergalacticbar.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/intergalacticbar.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intergalacticbar.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intergalacticbar.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3098"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/intergalacticbar.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3098\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3100,"href":"https:\/\/intergalacticbar.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3098\/revisions\/3100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/intergalacticbar.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intergalacticbar.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intergalacticbar.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
