OrbitGuardians

OrbitGuardians is a US space debris policy and advocacy organisation based in the Long Beach, California area, focused on creating legislative and commercial funding mechanisms for Space Traffic Management (STM) and Active Debris Removal (ADR) to address the growing crisis of over 100 million debris objects in Earth's orbits threatening long-term space operations and the Kessler syndrome risk. The organisation has developed the STM Act of 2025 — proposed legislation providing tax credit incentives for orbital debris removal activities — and advocates for establishing STM as a government-supported industry oversight function, developing standards and governance frameworks for sustainable orbital operations across commercial, civil, and government satellite operators. OrbitGuardians serves the growing space sustainability community by bridging the gap between space debris policy and commercial implementation, targeting US government legislators, space regulatory agencies, and the international space community requiring actionable frameworks for orbital debris management.
