Astroscale’s Post

🌌 Last week's UN/Portugal Policy Symposium on Management and Sustainability of Outer Space Activities has added another milestone in the space track in the preparation of the #SummitoftheFuture with a focus on: - space sustainability - advancing Space Traffic Management (STM) - space debris mitigation - space resources - the important roles of the different actors and stakeholders. 🚀 As we face the challenges of an increasingly congested space environment, the symposium’s recommendations underscore the urgent need for international cooperation and advancements of the discussions for which #UNOOSA and COPUOS are uniquely positioned to facilitate. 🔗 Join us in Lisbon from 14-15 May to further these exchanges through expert roundtables and deliberations on the Lisbon Manifesto.

Thanks to SpaceNews for giving attention to the important issue of space safety and sustainability. While there is widespread support for safety and sustainability, critical gaps remain that we can work together to address. I'm hoping to pick up conversations about this important topic with many of you at #SpaceSymposium this coming week. #39space #spacesafety #spacesustainability https://lnkd.in/d6CJGn8F Together, we can proactively plug space safety gaps With a growing presence in space, we must also have a growing focus on and consideration of space safety and new risks.

🌟#SpaceSustainability In a session by the Luxembourg chapter of Space and Satellite Professionals International (#SSPI) Muriel Hooghe of Luxembourg Space Agency (#LSA) concluded on the topic: “The whole space ecosystem must work together towards finding suitable approaches for avoiding and managing space debris in a manner that also stimulates our economic environment.”, said Muriel Hooghe, LSA. ▶ Re-Watch our fantastic session to hear first-hand on the strategies, challenges to overcome and tools Follow the link: ➡https://lnkd.in/e5mYZg_f #Recording #Sustainability #SpaceDebris

Launch: the charismatic megafauna of space. Like a lion, launch is loud, fiery, hazardous — and awesome. Yes, it’s just the beginning of a mission, but what a beginning. ADRAS-J’s work has just begun, but for now, a mega-shoutout to Rocket Lab, Astroscale, and JAXA for a fantastic start to a groundbreaking mission. And special thanks to Akira Yoshida, Satoshi Ito, Alison Howlett, Morgan Bailey, and James Rattray for being absolute pros on launch comms/PR. 🚀🛰️💪 #ShowthewayADRASJ 🔎 #spacesustainability

The ADRAS-J mission entails the first ever approach of actual space debris and it's paving the way for future on-orbit servicing and commercial space debris removal by Astroscale. The spacecraft, delivered into orbit Sunday by Rocket Lab, will approach a defunct upper stage from a Japanese H-IIA rocket that has been circling Earth for more than 15 years. This mission will enable to validate key technologies for on-orbit servicing, such as safely approaching an object, observing the object (assess its spin rate, spin axis, and the condition of its structure) and collect sufficient data to proceed with the next phase. Indeed, the proposed follow-on mission will actually go up and grab onto the same H-IIA upper stage and remove it from orbit. 🛰

🎉 Following our first "Shaping a Sustainable Space Economy" community meeting, we're excited to share a sneak peek of the rich dialogue and innovative ideas that emerged. 🌍Our shared mission to develop a sustainable space economy is ambitious and necessitates a collective effort. 🔎We believe that by bringing together diverse perspectives, we can achieve the vision of a sustainable space economy with greater wisdom and foresight. 🚀 Here’s what our panelists shared about how this can be done! 🌟 Your Voice Matters 🌟 As we begin this journey, your insights are invaluable. How do you envision a sustainable space economy? What steps must we take today to ensure a legacy of responsible space exploration for future generations? 📸Check out the recording and join the conversation. Your expertise and opinions could help steer the direction of our future. 📍Join the conversation at our upcoming community event at 5th of April, 6pm CET: https://lnkd.in/ebSh9W7D 👋and join our LinkedIn community to stay updated on further developments: https://lnkd.in/eGYkRS6e #SpaceEconomy #Sustainability #spacesustainability #SpaceExploration #newspaceeconomy #newspace #satellite

The future of space habitats is here. Introducing Max Space to get the maximum amount of space in space.

Why am I targeting space innovators for collaboration? - Space Scientists have known about the climate crisis and acted accordingly - Space Engineers have practiced the System Change and Circular Design principles - Also, in my view, the Space Circular Economy is the only successful model both financially and environmentally Why should the space industry be interested in working with me? Together, we: - Tackle the climate-housing crisis on Earth - Save billions Euros & Dollars on the Moon & Mars Habitats This is the promise! NL CT-Habitats 4 all, forever, on both Earth & Mars!  #nkw2023 #NationalClimateWeek #ClimateAction #EITClimateKIC  #SpaceDesign #SpaceArchitecture #SustainableDesign #circulardesign #circulareconomy #sdgs2030 #climatejustice #climatechange #climatecrisis #climateaction #estec #ISRU

Glad to see it being spelled out at this level by Richard DalBello that space sustainability is more than just dealing with space debris and space traffic. It's about the untenable ongoing increase in launches, the need for equitable access to space, the need to protect dark skies, the need to consider the environmental and potential cultural heritage impacts of lunar activities. And the case for the commercial sector to take all of this seriously is that their business models depend on space remaining accessible, usable (and frankly, politically stable) https://lnkd.in/eTz5c3Uv

We are thrilled to share the recently published Zero Debris Charter. The Charter represents a collective stride towards ensuring a safe and sustainable space environment 🌎. It is an honour for us at iSEE - Impact Space Expedition and Exploration to have joined the latest co-development workshop, witnessing the community's dedication in crafting this pivotal document alongside European Space Agency - ESA.   We stand committed to the Charter’s guiding principles and targets for 2030. It's inspiring to see the space sector unite under such an ambitious and significant cause 🤝, and we're proud to support this initiative with our innovative solutions:  • To minimise the unintentional generation of space debris 💥  • And to improve knowledge and understanding of the population of space debris of all sizes 🔭.   The Charter not only embodies the spirit of collaboration but also aligns seamlessly with iSEE’s mission. Our proven in-orbit technology is at the forefront of detecting and measuring debris particles, providing essential data that reinforces the Charter's objectives through: • Keeping the probability of collisions below 1 in 1000 per object during the entire orbital lifetime, and • Enabling access to timely and accurate data on space objects down to a size of 1 mm or even smaller.   In the coming weeks, iSEE will be at SpaceTech Expo and other events to echo the importance of the Zero Debris Charter.     Follow us and stay tuned on this important matter🔔   #ZeroDebrisCharter #SpaceSustainability #iSEE #InOrbitTechnology #SpaceDebris
