On the Social Cost of Orbital Debris

2026-01-20

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Orbital debris represents a global environmental externality comparable to terrestrial ones and imposes a social cost on humanity. This paper quantifies the Social Cost of Orbital Debris (SCOD) using projections from an Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) linking economic activity with the space environment. The model generates optimal trajectories for orbital debris emissions and consump...
