DESCRIPTION:Although the space age has brought about many benefits for all
 \nhumankind\, these benefits have not come without consequences.\nSpace-fa
 ring nations are creating environmental damages that could\nhave long-term
  effects. The most immediate of these is space\ndebris\, the nonfunctional
  satellites\, launch vehicles and related\nobjects that orbit the Earth un
 controlled.\nOn 10 February 2009\, an inactive Cosmos-2251 satellite and a
 n\nactive commercial Iridium-33 satellite collided in low-Earth orbit\nat 
 an altitude of about 800 kilometres above Siberia. This created\na large c
 loud of space debris\, which could remain in orbit possibly\nfor decades a
 nd continue threatening other active satellites. The\nloss of Iridium-33 d
 isrupted telecommunication service to a section\nof Iridium customers.\nTh
 e growing awareness of the impact of space debris upon the\nsafety of spac
 e operations and space-based assets has encouraged\nsome space actors to t
 ake steps to mitigate the production of new\ndebris through the developmen
 t and implementation of national and\ninternational debris mitigation meas
 ures. In 2007\, the United\nNations Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Sp
 ace (COPUOS) adopted\nSpace Debris Mitigation Guidelines\, which were subs
 equently\nendorsed by the UN General Assembly (hereinafter referred to as 
 UN\nCOPUOS Guidelines).\n\nTo assess the value of the UN COPUOS Guidelines
 \nTo assess current efforts to implement the UN COPUOS\nGuidelines\nTo exa
 mine further legal\, organizational and technical\nfoundations for possibl
 e national\, regional\, and international\nimplementation\nExamine other i
 nternational space safety & security\nendeavours and assess whether they a
 re complementary to the UN\nCOPUOS Guidelines.\nTo propose specific and vi
 able policy and regulatory steps\n(mechanisms) to monitor and reduce the s
 pace debris risks.\n\nTo find out more on this Congress\, please see the p
 rogramme and backgrounder or contact Ms.\nCatherine Doldirina.\nOrganisati
 on\nOrganised by the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Institute of Air and Space\nLaw\, i
 n collaboration with the Cologne University Institute of Air\nand Space La

 e Safety (The Netherlands)\, and sponsored by the\nErin J. C. Arsenault Tr
