We Can Stop an Asteroid.We Can’t Fund the Defense.
The technology exists. The financial infrastructure doesn't. We're building it.
Technology Capabilities
The technology pipeline is active.
In September 2022, NASA’s DART mission successfully altered the orbit of asteroid Dimorphos. The technical ecosystem for planetary defense is operational and growing.
The removal technology is emerging.
In 2021, Astroscale’s ELSA-d successfully captured a client satellite using magnetic docking — proving commercial debris removal is technically viable. The ecosystem for active debris mitigation is accelerating.
The monitoring ecosystem is advancing.
Parker Solar Probe has flown through coronal mass ejections since 2018, providing unprecedented data on solar wind acceleration and early-warning signatures. The monitoring ecosystem is advancing.
The technology pipelines are funded. The response treasuries are not.
The Financial Gaps
Proven mechanisms exist for every risk category. None have been applied to space-origin threats.

Zero transactions. Ever.
Deflection missions require 3–10 years of lead time. Pre-positioned funding isn’t a preference — it’s physics.
Annual premiums
No dedicated removal funding.
Each collision creates thousands of new fragments. Without funded removal capacity, the cascade accelerates faster than natural orbital decay.
Annual allocation
No dedicated resilience funding.
A Carrington-class geomagnetic storm could damage hundreds of high-voltage transformers simultaneously. Replacements take 12–18 months to manufacture.

Asteroid Apophis will pass closer to Earth than our communications satellites.
For one moment, the entire world will think about planetary defense.
Will we have the financial architecture ready?
~2030
Projected threshold where collision cascading becomes self-sustaining without active intervention.
For one moment, the entire world will think about orbital debris.
Will we have the mitigation architecture ready?
~2036
Solar Cycle 26 peak — every 11-year cycle carries Carrington-class risk.
For one moment, the entire world will think about solar storm impacts.
Will we have the resilient infrastructure ready?
Building the Financial Architecture
Not inventing new mechanisms—extending proven ones to all space-origin threats.
The DSR Bank
Multilateral institution for pooled space-risk defense capital. GDP-weighted contributions fund asteroid deflection, debris removal, and grid hardening — three threats, one treasury.
Space Risk Bonds
Capital markets instruments structured for each threat profile: deflection-timeline bonds for asteroid risk, removal-capacity bonds for debris mitigation, and resilience-linked bonds for grid infrastructure.
Global Governance
Transparent framework with scientific oversight spanning COPUOS, ITU, and national grid authorities — coordinating response across orbital and terrestrial domains.
