Vacuuming Outer Space: Incentivizing Active Space Debris Removal Through a Licensing Model

I am excited to share that my sixth space law article is now published in the Buffalo Law Review! The piece is available here: “Vacuuming Outer Space: Incentivizing Active Space Debris Removal Through a Licensing Model”

In Vacuuming Outer Space, I address the urgent issue of space debris that threatens the sustainability of Earth's orbital environment. I propose an innovative licensing regime, overseen by the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC), designed to incentivize active debris removal while fostering international cooperation. My heartfelt thanks go to the staff and editors at the Buffalo Law Review for their invaluable assistance throughout this process. Together, let's keep the pathway to the stars clear!
