The Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space (commonly known as the Registration Convention) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1974<ref name="UN_ARES3235XXIX">Template:UN document</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and went into force in 1976. As of November 2016, it has been ratified by 63 states.<ref>http://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/CN/2013/CN.181.2013-Eng.pdf</ref>

The convention requires states to furnish to the United Nations with details about the orbit of each space object. A registry of launchings was already being maintained by the United Nations as a result of a General Assembly Resolution in 1962.<ref name="UN_ARES1721XVI">Template:UN document</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

The Registration Convention and four other space law treaties are administered by the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.Template:Inconsistent

The European Space Agency and European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites have submitted declarations of acceptance of rights and obligations according to the convention.<ref>Status of International Agreements relating to activities in outer space as at 1 January 2012</ref>

Current status

The register is kept by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and includes<ref name="unoosa-data">Template:Cite web</ref>

Proposals

A General Assembly resolution from December 2007 that was accepted by consensus recommended that the data should be extended to include:<ref name="UN_ARES62101_page3">Template:UN document</ref>

  • Coordinated Universal Time as the time reference for the date of launch;
  • Kilometres, minutes and degrees as the standard units for basic orbital parameters;
  • Any useful information relating to the function of the space object in addition to the general function requested by the Registration Convention
  • The geostationary orbit location, if appropriate
  • Any change of status in operations (e.g., when a space object is no longer functional)
  • The approximate date of decay or re-entry
  • The date and physical conditions of moving a space object to a disposal orbit
  • Web links to official information on space objects

Background

Template:Asof, more than 200 dead satellites littered the part of space near geostationary orbit. Within 10 years, that number could increase fivefold, warns a report by the UN. The resulting chaos could lead to serious damage or loss of a spacecraft.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
