Although space traffic management (STM) has been the subject of numerous articles and reports in the last decades, there is still confusion around its nature, scope and objectives, with each study usually developing its own definition. Even the origins and historical developments of the concept are unknown to most experts. Although the terminology and concept of STM are usually attributed to Dr Lubos Perek in 1982, the idea of regulating space traffic has been present and formalised since the early beginnings of space law, starting in the 1930s and became a widely debated topic in the 1950s and 1960s. It then reached its current popularity after a definite comeback in the late 1990s.

After providing a comprehensive analysis of the origins and historical developments of STM, this article argues that it is important to take a step back and question the concept itself. Owing to the unfortunate choice of the term ‘management’ in STM, many space law and policy scholars may not be exploring the full scope of the issue. In order to meaningfully contribute to the advancement of space safety and sustainability, it is time to go beyond the restrictive term of STM and adopt a new wording reflecting the reality of the field, which mostly consists of promoting standardisation and communication between stakeholders, rather than management and control per se.

自1932年以来空间交通管理概念的历史演变:术语需要改变

尽管在过去的几十年中,空间交通管理(STM)一直是众多文章和报告的主题,但是在其性质,范围和目标方面仍然存在混淆,每个研究通常都会制定自己的定义。大多数专家甚至都不知道该概念的起源和历史发展。尽管STM的术语和概念通常归因于1982年的Lubos Perek博士,但自1930年代开始的空间法初期以来,调节空间交通的想法就已经存在并正式化,并在1950年代成为了广泛争论的话题。 1960年代。在1990年代后期明确复出之后,它便达到了目前的流行程度。

在对STM的起源和历史发展进行了全面的分析之后,本文认为,退后一步并质疑这个概念本身很重要。由于在STM中不幸选择了“管理”一词,因此许多空间法和政策学者可能没有在探索这个问题的全部范围。为了对促进空间安全和可持续发展做出有意义的贡献,现在是时候超越STM的限制性术语,采用一种反映该领域实际情况的新措辞,该措辞主要包括促进利益相关者之间的标准化和沟通,而不是促进管理和控制本身
