Abstract The National Council of Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET) of Argentina is working on a project on the subject, with a special focus on space debris and EOS. Participants are working in cooperation with the National Commission of Space Activities (CONAE) of Argentina and the Universities of Buenos Aires and Belgrano, both in Argentina, and other relevant international institutions. Among other examples, the University of Mississippi, and its National Center for Remote Sensing, Air and Space Law, is giving special attention to this problem. These projects, and a number of others around the world, have a strong interdisciplinary nature.
