From professional to amateur astronomers, the dark skies represent a window to the universe. Whether from our backyards or millions of miles into the expanse, the distant lights that astronomers observe represent the next frontier of human exploration. However, a newer inhabitant of our space backyard threatens this muchneeded future: satellite megaconstellations. This paper explores the notion of law and ethics as it applies to the use of satellite megaconstellations. The goal is to discover how space law may offer guidance and educate satellite operators while identifying possible solutions. |
