EDITORIAL INFORMATION

The Space Debris Sessions of the 34nd Symposyum on Safety, Rescue, and Quality (2001), at the IAF Congress in Toulouse again were organized by the International Academy of Astronautics' (IAA) Subcommittee on Space Debris, Committee on Safety and Quality. During three sessions covering Measurement and Modeling, Risk Analysis and Protection, and Mitigation Measures and Standards, 21 papers were given.

(Extracted from the Foreword).
