European space traffic management for the 21st century
To successfully respond to the evolving space traffic management needs of the 21st century, EUSTM will design best-practice guidelines for the European Union by exploring its current and future STM needs and capabilities and supporting the development of the EU STM expert community.
Space activities have experienced an impressive increase in the past decades, with the proliferation of a multitude of actors and concepts that are decisively setting new challenges in space traffic management. By addressing the security, safety, sustainability and stability of space operations, EUSTM will complete end-to-end studies into European scientific, technological, operational and regulatory STM capabilities and needs, to design solutions based on best practice and grounded in Europe.
