| Protection of Outer Space Act
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
| | Category: Environmental | Industry Affected: All Businesses | Proposed by: Stash Kroh | Description: The World Assembly abroad,
ACKNOWLEDGING the importance of maintaining Outer Space as an
environment for all nations to explore in the safest manner possible,
UNDERSTANDING that the hazardous accumulation of space debris in recent years is contributed by space-voyaging nations,
CONCERNED that nations may pollute this internationally encompassing
environment, as space debris that is uncontrolled will not remain in
one area forever and may even gravitate towards celestial bodies or
pose a hazard to satellites and astronauts,
DEFINING “Outer Space” as the void which occupies the largely empty
areas of the universe outside the atmosphere of any planet, star or
other celestial body, where the edge of any celestial body’s atmosphere
is understood to be the specific position where a craft would have to
travel faster than orbital velocity in order to receive sufficient
aerodynamic lift from the atmosphere to support itself.
HEREBY:
1) Prohibits space-voyaging nations from damaging or polluting Outer Space unnecessarily.
2) Further Prohibits any unnatural addition of hazardous debris to a
frequented travel route or within dangerous proximity to a celestial
body where nations reside.
3) Forbids the intentional atmospheric reentry of any vessel,
satellite, or object of non-weaponry purpose, if its reentry presents a
substantial and unjustifiable risk to the health of any resident of a
nation.
4) Stipulates that all vessels, and residences in Outer Space recycle
and reuse waste material to the best of their ability, and dispose of
it in a manner that is least likely to cause unnecessary risk.
5) Establishes the Coordination of Space Consortium (C.O.S.C), in order to:
I. Support peaceful scientific research carried out by member
states regarding the environmental effects of interstellar travel and
Outer Space in general.
II. Safely organize, and coordinate the trajectories and flight paths
of space vessels and satellites belonging to nations that are willing
to share such vital information.
III. Research and devise new technologies and methodologies to
improve waste management systems in Outer Space as well as the
longevity of satellites and other space equipment while minimalizng
space travel's dependency on disposable space equipment such as rocket
stages.
6) Encourages nations to adopt the C.O.S.C’s technological designs
or environmental practices if applicable, or otherwise remain outside
of Outer Space until their crafts and crew are compliant with its
standards. |
