Space advertising is advertising in space. There have been several proposals to advertise in space, with some even planning to launch billboards that would be visible from Earth. Space advertising may be obtrusive or non-obtrusive.
Obtrusive space advertising is the term used for ads in space that can be recognized by people without supporting devices such as telescopes or binoculars, while non-obtrusive space advertising is the opposite. It can be, for example, logos on space suits, satellites, and rockets.
Advertising in space has been criticized for its contribution to the existing and growing problem of space debris, as well as obscuring the view of space as seen from the ground. This form of advertising is regulated by international and national legislation, and as technology improves further regulations will be required to address and encompass new forms of space advertising. While space advertising is limited by both contemporary regulation and technological capability, in popular culture, space advertising has taken a variety of forms and displays.
