What would happen if one day all of humanity’s artificial satellites suddenly disappeared? Within hours, most of the planet’s traffic would grind to a halt, the world economy would shut down, and most countries would declare a state of emergency. Even in the best-case scenario, our civilization would be set back by decades. So, what are the odds of this actually happening? Moriba Jah investigates.

We are interested in making space safer, more secure, and long-term sustainable. This can be seen as doing such things as helping space operators avoid collisions in space, monitoring the behaviors and activities in space and developing a body of evidence to hold entities accountable, as well as quantifying the carrying capacity of orbital space and managing this capacity under a global governance. Our work can greatly aid this by measurably making space more transparent and predictable.
