A Look Back on Space Traffic Management (STM) from 2029

20th Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies Conference

Kelso, T.S., "A Look Back on Space Traffic Management (STM) from 2029," presented at the 20th Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies Conference, Maui, HI, 2019 September 18.

Remarks for the SSA Policy Forum: The Future of Launch and On-Orbit Safety

Mahalo to the AMOS organizers for providing me this wonderful opportunity to share a look back from 2029 on how we developed what is now a successful and thriving STM environment. I am happy to be able to share my prepared remarks, as approved by the Time Council.

We’ve certainly come a long way.

So, don't think because the ending will be good that there isn't a lot of work to be done today to get us there. That will take global collaboration and transparency and I’m confident that many of you in the audience today are prepared to work together and lead that effort!
