Abstract: Space infrastructure and data have become indispensable to humanity at all scales, which is largely due to the advent of the New Space era, characterized by the creation of large satellite constellations. Unfortunately, these remarkable developments exacerbate an already pressing issue: the growing accumulation of space debris. In this article, we propose a dynamic gametheoretic model showing that this problem can be contained, if an international institution is created and empowered to levy taxes to finance active debris removal activities
