UNIVERSAL ADVANCED Orbital Debris Removal Mission Safety Assessment Project Acronym: UAODRMSA

PROBLEM: Space systems multiply faster than the records that govern them: the orbital debris removal mission safety assessment problem is that operators, regulators, and insurers each hold a fragment of the picture, so a collision risk, a signal fault, or a spectrum conflict can be visible to one party and invisible to the rest. No single governed record ties the fragments together.

SOLUTION: IBM Cloud Ideas would provide a governed orbital debris removal mission safety assessment record: every object, assignment, and incident logged with lineage, so responsibility and risk are traceable end to end. It governs the record, not the spacecraft.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — the U.S. Space Force's 18th Space Defense Squadron tracks tens of thousands of orbital objects, and the International Telecommunication Union coordinates satellite spectrum; debris and collision risk are documented operational problems.
