New Op-Ed just dropped! With thanks to my colleague Jamie Wilson for adding the deep physics know-how. Unlike my usual work, this is about one concept that SHOULDN’T be a norm in space: minimum safe distance or spherical “keep-out zones.”

What can be done to prevent collisions and mitigate threats in space if there is no minimum safe distance or spherical keep-out zone concept that can be applied as a norm? ow.ly/rWVE30sylKE

I would argue that the breadth and intensity of response to violation of a norm is a measure of that norm’s strength. Norms established in non binding guidelines will have different incentives (implied or explicit) than norms established in law. Different tools to make norms

Chiming in to @DougLigor and @brianweeden’s debate on What is a norm? There really is no commonly accepted definition, but I use the one Brian cited. Although I believe sanctions are not required to have a norm (just a common belief behavior is ok or not ok)…

Happy anniversary of the U.S. commitment to not conduct destructive direct-ascent ASAT tests to all who celebrate. I’ll say it again: that’s one small step for a norm, one giant leap for normkind. What a difference a year makes!

So even though diplomacy and norm development in space is really difficult, it is rarely done completely from scratch. There are always potential lessons learned from history, from different kinds of actors or sources, or from analogies and other domains. (end 🧵)

The SSC best practices also indirectly draw from OTHER domains, such as by paralleling “give way” guidelines from maritime rules of the road. (3)

So all in all this was quite the year for space norms! Thanks for all who followed along this year and who laughed (or groaned) at my puns. Can’t wait for what’s to come in 2023! 🚀🎉🥳

5 (cont.) Over 150 countries voted in favor of a UN resolution calling for a halt to this kind of ASAT testing. Now THATS Normentum, even though there is a long way still to go. spacenews.com/united-nations…
