EU Council adopts conclusions on the current state of play of Space Traffic Management Today, the Council has adopted conclusions on ‘Space traffic management: state of play’. The conclusions address the challenges of an increasingly congested orbital space and the need for a common approach to ensure a safe and sustainable European space policy. The conclusions stress the urgency of developing an EU space traffic management (STM) approach, which will contribute to space safety, sustainability and security, and welcome the progress made so far. #bholegal #eu #spacelaw #stm #eusst #euspace #technologylaw https://lnkd.in/e9DDgPAm

Satellite life extending and debris reduction as the future of space sequencing. Not far to regular traffic management.

🌌 Advancing Space Sustainability: NorthStar Earth & Space's Major Series D Financing NorthStar Earth & Space has achieved a significant milestone, securing CA$20 million (US $14.71 million) in Series D funding from notable investors including Telesystem Space Inc., the government of Quebec, and the Luxembourg Future Fund – Co-Investments SA. 🛰️ Strategic Expansion: ▪️ The funds will be utilized to launch the first four satellites of NorthStar’s constellation. ▪️ This initiative marks a major step in providing commercial Space Situational Awareness (SSA) services. 🌍 Impactful Objectives: ▪️ NorthStar aims to enhance space traffic management and mitigate collision risks with orbital debris. ▪️ The project involves setting up a data processing center in Montreal for tracking satellites and debris. 🗣️ Stewart Bain, co-founder and CEO of NorthStar Earth & Space: “Thanks to the unwavering support of the government of Quebec and our investors in North America and Luxembourg, NorthStar’s unique space-based services will provide coverage of significant gaps that were previously inaccessible from ground-based systems. This represents a significant contribution to the sustainability of the space environment for future generations,” How will NorthStar’s space-based SSA services shape the future of space sustainability and commercial space operations? https://lnkd.in/d2G_2xEw #SpaceSustainability #NorthStarEarthAndSpace #SeriesDFunding #SpaceTech #InnovationInSpace

"AAC Clyde Space signed an agreement with the Scottish government to offer Earth observation data through the planned Cyclops satellite constellation. This is AAC Clyde Space’s first customer for the planned four-satellite constellation.  The deal announced Tuesday is a pre-commercial agreement worth 612,000 pounds ($783,000). AAC Clyde Space developed the solution in response to CivTech, the Scottish government’s flagship innovation program for public/private partnerships.  The agreement will focus on analysis and automating and integrating image data from the Scottish Forestry’s Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and operations. The satellites data will focus on tree health to identify trees affected by pests and disease.  The satellites in the Cyclops constellation will be the first 16U satellites built by AAC Clyde Space and introducing a new generation of Epic View satellites. Manufacturing for the first two satellites is underway and the first satellite is expected to launch in the first half of 2025.  “The services we will provide from these ‘Made in Glasgow’ satellites epitomize the benefits of using data from space: a cost effective way of monitoring Scotland’s forests at a time of increased need. Teaming up with Scotland’s government early on has allowed us to develop data services that meet the high requirements of public organizations,” commented AAC Clyde Space CEO Luis Gomes."

In my opinion the #zero space debris approach is the only way to make our orbits more #sustainable. What does it mean? In simple words, before you launch you need to know how to get rid of the junk you create. And implement, for example by active removal. Why is it important? Debris hamper #spaceexploration, #spacetourism and create significant risks to #spacecraft. And the numbers are frightening, just take look at newly published Space Environment Report. #esa #innovation
