The United States Government has declared that it will no longer be performing tests of Anti-Satellite (ASAT) weapons.

Addressing this problem has been the main purpose of VP Harris’s announcement. By setting norms like this, it is hoped that other countries will follow suit. According to Robin Dicky, chief analyst at the Aerospace Center for Space Policy and Strategy, “There are tons of different norms conversations happening — there’s no one size fits all solution for how to develop them.

And if we can reach a global agreement to end ASAT, it sets the groundwork for sustainable long-term management. This historic announcement by VP Harris is an important step in the right direction.
