With the increasing presence of space debris and the potential risk posed by near-Earth objects (NEOs) colliding with Earth, it is important to understand ongoing and future coordination efforts for Earth and Space safety, including hazard characterization, search, and detection activities as well as mitigation techniques and technologies.
This collection features research insights contributing on topics such as monitoring and characterization of NEOs and space debris, risk management, numerical modelling of realistic impact scenarios, space safety, debris removal techniques, asteroid deflection, and policy developments.
