As the number of artificial satellites put into orbit around Earth is growing very rapidly for scientific, commercial, defence or educational purposes, the need to take measures to improve safety of space operations and to contribute to the long-term sustainability of outer space activities are becoming more and more important.

This paper provides an analysis of the main identified challenges to be addressed by space traffic management (STM) and an overview of a set of actions considered to tackle those challenges. The complementarity of political guidelines, regulation, standardization and operational capabilities is discussed, taking into account the need to combine the expected efficiency of the proposed actions with European industry competitiveness and also national and European security constraints.

由于出于科学、商业、国防或教育目的而进入地球轨道的人造卫星的数量正在迅速增长，因此需要采取措施提高空间运行的安全性并促进外层空间活动的长期可持续性。变得越来越重要。

本文分析了空间交通管理 (STM) 需要解决的主要挑战，并概述了为应对这些挑战而采取的一系列行动。讨论了政治指导方针、法规、标准化和运营能力的互补性，考虑到将拟议行动的预期效率与欧洲工业竞争力以及国家和欧洲安全限制相结合的必要性。
