The prioritization and improvement of ethics, planetary protection, and safety standards in the astrosciences is the most critical priority as our scientific and exploratory capabilities progress, both within government agencies and the private sector. These priorities lie in the belief that every single science mission—crewed or non-crewed, ground-based or not—should heed strict ethical and safety standards starting shortly after mission conception. Given the inevitability of the private sector in influencing future crewed missions both in and beyond low-Earth orbit, it is essential to the science community to agree on universal standards of safety, ethics, planetary protection, and especially antiimperialism. These issues will impact all areas of space science, and even matters related to national defense and biodefense. Delegation of power and strict communication standards not only to protect the lives of the explorers but protect the environments of wherever humanity decides to venture. Opening up the multidisciplinary approach of space exploration to international law and governance regarding planetary protection, safety, and creating comprehensive and ethical standards across all space faring institutions is needed for the future of space exploration. Agreement and enforcement by the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs and the cooperation of participating governments in setting guidelines will prove critical in improving standards for future science missions. Ultimately, moving international space law and domestic space policy from a reactive nature to a proactive one will ensure the future of space exploration is one that is ethical, transparent, and antiimperialist. The prioritization of safety, planetary protection, and ethical practices of space exploration and its subsets is heavily dependent on a clear, progressive, and precautionary approach to international and domestic space law and must be executed by both individuals as practice and by governments as policy, simultaneously.

从政策角度绝对优先考虑行星保护,安全和避免帝国主义

随着政府机构和私营部门的科学和探索能力的进步,天文学中的道德,行星保护和安全标准的优先排序和改进是最关键的优先事项。这些优先事项是基于这样的信念,即每一个科学任务-无论是经改编的还是非改编的,是否基于地面的,都应该遵循严格的道德和安全标准,这些概念和任务要在构想任务后立即开始。鉴于私营部门不可避免地会影响未来在低地球轨道内外的载人飞行任务,因此科学界必须就安全,伦理,行星保护特别是反帝国主义的普遍标准达成共识。这些问题将影响太空科学的所有领域,甚至与国防和生物防御有关。权力下放和严格的通信标准不仅可以保护探险者的生命,而且可以保护人类决定冒险的地方的环境。对于太空探索的未来,需要对行星保护,安全方面的国际法律和治理开放多学科的太空探索方法,并在所有太空航天机构中建立全面的道德标准。联合国外层空间事务厅的协议和执行,以及参与国政府在制定准则方面的合作,对于提高未来科学飞行的标准至关重要。最终,将国际空间法和国内空间政策从被动性转变为主动性将确保太空探索的未来是符合道德,透明,和帝国主义。安全,行星保护和空间探索及其子集的道德规范的优先次序在很大程度上取决于对国际和国内空间法采取明确,渐进和预防性的方法,并且必须由个人作为惯例并由政府作为政策来执行,同时。
