Conjunction Assessment at NASAThe number of objects in orbit is growing exponentially

The space environment today is very different from a decade ago and continues to evolve very rapidly
- Historically, space operations were domain of large governmental entities.
- Commercial space operators are becoming commonplace and have different business models than government actors
- CubeSats are cost effective and accessible for everyone, even down to elementary schools
- Challenge in educating new space actors on best practices and availability of data and tools

Technology enabling this access has rapidly evolved, while no regulatory framework has been established to ensure that space can be used safely by all.
