Who is Addressing Orbital Debris Problems

The two most important international coordinative bodies that are addressing the space debris problem are the Inter Agency Space Debris Coordinating Committee (IADC) and U. N.’s Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS). The IADC includes most of the world’s space agencies with a space launch capability while the COPUOS now includes some 70 nations and addresses a wide range of space-related issues including that of mitigation of space debris.
