This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: !Briggs_Group_Debris, There are 18,000 tracked objects traveling around the earth therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The space industry needs to clean up its act., Space junk is dangerous therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The space industry needs to clean up its act., If we can regulate space then there should be insurance to have a satellite in space in case of collision. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) There should be insurance to opperate a satellite in space, The need for international rules necessitates a need for an international civil satellite awareness system. Therefore: (ArgScheme: equivalence) International rules are needed, The space industry needs to clean up its act. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) An international civil satellite awareness-system is needed, An international civil satellite awareness-system is needed therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) We can regulate satellite usage to reduce the number of collisions, If space junk larger than a fleck poses a risk to satellites, and it can not be cleaned up, then spacejunk is dangerous to communications, broadcasting and surveilance satellites. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space junk is dangerous, Space junk is not biodegradable and can not be cleaned up therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space junk is dangerous, If there are 900 out of 18,000 known objects that active satellites orbiting around the earth, then the space industry needsto clean up its act. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The space industry needs to clean up its act., Someone has to "give way" in orbit issues that involve space faring countries therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) If someone has to "give way" and there are not existing rules on how, then international rules will be needed for the awareness system., We can regulate satellite usage to reduce the number of collisions therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) There should be insurance to opperate a satellite in space, If the space industry needs to clean up its act, and the data that organizations collect is too modest to be effective, then an international civil satellite awareness system is needed. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) An international civil satellite awareness-system is needed, Someone has to "give way" in orbit issues that involve space faring countries therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) International rules are needed, There could be "fee riders" to the system Objection If the space industry needs to clean up its act, and the data that organizations collect is too modest to be effective, then an international civil satellite awareness system is needed., There are space junk that could collide with active satellites creating even more space junk. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The space industry needs to clean up its act., Anything larger than a paint fleck poses a danger to satellites orbiting the earth therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space junk is dangerous, Some organizations collect and analyze incomplete and imprecise data on potential collisions, but this is too modest. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) An international civil satellite awareness-system is needed, If an international civil satellite awareness-system is needed, then we can regulate satellite usage to reduce the number of collisions. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) We can regulate satellite usage to reduce the number of collisions, Insurance would not remove the debris from orbit if there were a collision. Objection If we can regulate space then there should be insurance to have a satellite in space in case of collision., 900 tracked objects are active satellites therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The space industry needs to clean up its act.
