Yes, history, you get it !
I am sorry to predict, if you did not read between the lines of what I was kinda saying...
Company's are the ones that will be making claims to their operations.
We don't really have definitions for this.
This is the only reason I can sympathize with the Russian actions if they are true to fact.
Who will police it and how ? Valid questions cause you know it's going to happen.
Like data security, if you wait for it to be a issue, it's to late !
Just FYI on space junk....
We launched more satellites in orbit to the earth the last 9 years, as all the years in previous history. It is accelerating at a pace that is beyond belief because you have a dozen private company's here in the us and a dozen more nations actively doing the same.
It is inevitable that a incident is going to happen in our lifetime that is a non-intentional action that is going to destroy the entire fleet of satellites from all nations.
cubesat's are the thing now and everyone is launching them.
Could be over 500 launched this year.
Some quick data (not the best)
According to UNOOSA, in history a total of 8 378 objects have been launched into space. Currently, 4 994 are still in orbit
