About this listen

In this episode, Associate Editors Henri Cant and Alexia Armstrong dig into the topic of space debris (aka "space junk") with two graduates of McGill's Institute of Air & Space Law - Dr. Upasana Dasgupta and Dr. Maria Manoli.

First, our speakers explore the subject of space debris and the environmental challenge it poses. Then, they discuss the principles of space law and the rules governing space debris. They end on a hopeful note by discussing cooperation and sustainability in space.
