Commercial Spaceflight Federation Statement on Russian Anti-Satellite Test

The Commercial Spaceflight Federation (CSF) strongly condemns the deliberate destruction of satellites endangering humans in orbit and other spaceflight activities, which underpin our economy. Commercial operators make every effort to avoid creating space debris, recognizing the importance of environmental stewardship for all users.  CSF and its members are dedicated to creating a sustainable and safe space environment that enables continued human presence in low-Earth orbit and responsible satellite constellations to improve life on Earth.  CSF is committed to working with the US government to address space sustainability to eliminate the irresponsible and purposeful creation of space debris.
