Problem
Humanity’s orbital infrastructure is one of its most valuable achievements—yet it is fragile and increasingly at risk. Space-based conflict between nations poses a global existential threat. A single aggressive action could initiate cascading debris (Kessler Syndrome), disabling access to orbit and crippling planetary systems including communications, navigation, weather forecasting, climate science, and international cooperation. Once lost, near-Earth orbit could remain unusable for centuries.
Proposal
Develop and co-deploy a shared emergency-use signal suppression protocol that can deny all orbital communications traffic entering or exiting Earth’s atmosphere, similar in principle to HAARP or high-bandwidth jamming infrastructure. This protocol would only be enabled if multiple powers detect credible space conflict escalation.
All sides (e.g., U.S., China, Russia, ESA) would hold identical control rights and technical capabilities to ensure trust, transparency, and enforcement parity. It is not a weapon. It is a lock—held by everyone—against mutually assured orbital destruction.
Purpose
- Prevent militarization or weaponization of Earth orbit
- Preserve access to low and mid-Earth orbit for future generations
- Encourage spacefaring nations to act in global stewardship, not competition
- Establish a global safety protocol that protects the entire planet’s infrastructure
Request
Begin joint review of global signal suppression capability and coordinate a mutually verifiable implementation framework. Consider partial declassification or information-sharing agreement among nuclear-armed and space-capable nations to prevent misunderstandings and enable co-monitoring of orbital threats.
This is not a step backward. It is a safeguard—so humanity can move forward together.
