Expressing support for the draft United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/C.1/77/L.62 calling upon member states to commit not to conduct destructive direct-ascent anti-satellite missile tests, introduced by the United States at the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.

HRES 1515 is a resolution passed by the US House of Representatives expressing support for a United Nations resolution urging all countries to commit to avoiding destructive anti-satellite missile tests that destroy satellites in orbit. Such tests create long-lasting space debris - like the 2021 Russian test that generated over 1,500 debris fragments and the 2007 Chinese test that left 3,400 pieces - threatening satellites and astronauts for decades. The resolution acknowledges nine countries (including Germany, Japan, and the UK) that have already pledged to forgo these tests, aligning with the US's 2022 voluntary moratorium. It calls on other nations, especially those with significant space assets, to adopt a similar commitment to protect space operations.
