Michael Maloney of Satellite Design for Recovery returns to the Cold Star Project, and we're continuing our discussion of the problems in space traffic management. While many people think STM is already figured out, the truth is this is a phantom idea. Current systems are cobbled together and do not represent a serious solution to the problem.

With host Jason Kanigan, Michael discusses:

• what space traffic management is and why we need it
• how we can measure capacity and utilization in STM
• why Air Traffic Control can be used as a model in developing a functional STM solution
• what limits there are in executing a Space Traffic Management program
• a future path to STM including better Space Situational Awareness, mitigation of space debris, and timely remediation.
