About

UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED awarded a contract to University of Southampton for a feasibility study to determine whether it is feasible to develop an indicative sustainability risk index for different operational orbit environments.

The study aims to inform stage 1 of the variable liability limit approach or other policy areas.

It will generate a range of defined orbits based on orbital parameters including altitude, eccentricity, and inclination, and explore defining risk in terms of orbital population, debris density, and other factors such as satellite characteristics.

The sustainability risk categorisation could be informed by collision risk or other parameters like financial risk.

The contract value is AUD 19,500.01.
