The focus of this research is to consider the analysis of risks and recovery related to satellite disruption within the context of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR). Analysis of satellite disruption has often been more technical and less focused on global measures to support recovery. This research considers the framework's relevance for preventing disruption to satellite systems and global recovery measures for related disasters that emerge due to dependence on satellites. The aims of this research are to consider how the SFDRR can be expanded to consider disruption to critical satellite systems, by identifying aspects of the framework that are applicable to this type of disaster. Another outcome is to contribute to wider disaster recovery literature by encouraging consideration of disasters involving disruption to digital services.

The findings indicate that the SFDRR has relevant measures for disasters but contains gaps in addressing risks of disruption to satellite systems. While the SFDRR includes broad recovery and resilience measures, it lacks direct mentions of satellites or the global nature of such disasters. The research outlines how the SFDRR's focus on localized, unintentional hazards misses the nuances of technical and digital challenges. It emphasizes the need for international cooperation, assigning roles for recovery, addressing political measures to deter attacks, and expanding public awareness of satellite-related vulnerabilities. While effective for many disasters, the SFDRR requires updates to include modern technological risks and global recovery efforts.
