Orbital Debris Research and
Development Interagency Working
Group Listening Sessions
Office of Science and
Technology Policy (OSTP).
ACTION: Announcement of meetings.
AGENCY:
The White House Office of
Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)
is organizing a series of virtual listening
sessions to hear about ideas, issues, and
potential solutions related to the
problem of orbital debris from members
of the public who have an interest or
stake in orbital debris research and
development. Perspectives gathered
during the virtual listening sessions will
inform the National Science and
Technology Council (NSTC) Orbital
Debris Research and Development
Interagency Working Group (ODRAD
IWG) as it develops a government-wide
orbital debris implementation plan,
examining R&D activities as well as
other considerations such as policy
levers, international engagements, and
other ideas outside of R&D solutions
that may help build a cohesive
implementation strategy. The
implementation plan is a continuation
of work done for the National Orbital
Debris Research and Development Plan
(January 2021), which was a response to
Space Policy Directive—3 (June 2018),
directing the United States to lead the
management of traffic and mitigate the
effects of debris in space.
DATES:
1. Orbital Debris Remediation:
Thursday, January 13, 2022, 1:00
p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET
2. Orbital Debris Mitigation: Thursday,
January 20, 2022, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00
p.m. ET
Registration deadline:
1. Orbital Debris Remediation:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Orbital Debris Interagency Working
Group has commenced the development
of an implementation plan to be
released in 2022. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
6622, OSTP is soliciting public input
through these virtual listening sessions
to obtain recommendations from a wide
range of stakeholders, including
representatives from diverse industries,
academia, other relevant organizations
and institutions, and the general public.
The public input provided in response
to these virtual listening sessions will
inform OSTP and NSTC as they work
with Federal agencies and other
stakeholders to develop an Orbital
Debris implementation plan. This
implementation plan builds on the
Orbital Debris R&D plan published in
January 2021.
Each listening session will be
organized around a particular theme
and audience, described below:
ADDRESSES:
1. Session on Debris Remediation:
Thursday, January 13, 2022, 1:00 p.m.
to 3:00 p.m. ET
Debris remediation is the active or
passive manipulation of debris objects
to reduce or eliminate the risk they pose
to operational space assets. This may
include fully removing debris from
orbit, moving debris from orbits that
pose a high risk to operational
spacecraft into lower-risk orbits, and
finding ways to repurpose or recycle
existing debris. Debris remediation
activities could substantially reduce the
risk of debris impact in key orbital
regimes. R&D priorities include:
Develop remediation and repurposing
technologies and techniques for largedebris objects; Develop remediation
technologies and techniques for smalldebris objects; Develop models for risk
and cost-benefit analyses. The target
audience includes companies interested
in developing debris remediation
services as a line of business, any entity
that has an interest in being a customer
for debris remediation services, and
researchers performing pre-competitive

R&D that supports debris remediation
capabilities.
Participants are encouraged to
consider potential R&D, policy,
regulatory, and international
partnership actions when answering the
following questions.
—What is the role of government,
private sector, and academia?
—What can the Federal government do
to incentivize the development of
debris remediation capabilities in
industry?
—What are the anticipated costs and
development timelines for developing
debris remediation services?
2. Session on Debris Mitigation:
Thursday, January 20, 2022, 1:00 p.m.
to 3:00 p.m. ET
Limiting the creation of new debris
through deliberate spacecraft and
launch vehicle design choices may be
the most cost-effective approach to
managing new debris creation in orbit.
Debris mitigation activities limit the
creation of debris in key orbital regimes.
Design choices could include improving
the reliability of critical spacecraft
subsystems, such as power and
propulsion, improving passivation
techniques, selecting spacecraft
materials that can withstand impacts,
enhanced shielding, and developing
cost-effective solutions to improve
maneuverability and end-of-life safe
modes. We invite ideas for U.S.
government actions to mitigate debris
creation from the public including
expert stakeholders in academia and
industry. Actions could focus on buying
down the risk and cost to implement
new technologies to limit the creation of
new debris, or even on incentives for
implementing proven technologies for
debris mitigation. Participants are
encouraged to consider potential R&D,
policy, regulatory, and international
partnership actions when answering the
following questions:
—What is the role of government,
private sector, and academia in
developing debris mitigation
solutions?
—What specific actions, R&D or policy,
could the government take to limit the
creation of new debris on-orbit?
—What actions to limit debris creation
are well understood, but require
satellite or launch vehicle owners/
operators to be educated or
incentivized to implement?
Speakers will have 2 to 3 minutes
each to make a comment. As many
speakers will be accommodated as the
scheduled time allows.

Technology Policy Institute will
