EDITORIAL INFORMATION

The Space Debris Sessions of the 32nd Symposyum on Safety, Rescue, and Quality (1999), published in this volume, were organized by the International Academy of Astronautics' (IAA) Subcommittee on Space Debris, Committee on Safety and Quality. The topics of the four space debris related sessions (Measuremetns, Modeling, Mitigation, Constellations, Collision Risk, Reentry Analysis), and the total number of 33 given papers reflect the bandwith and the increasing importance of the debris issue.

(Extracted from the Foreword).
