Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

In recent years, the exponential growth of spatial activities, driven in part by the expanding commercial use of space, has yielded promising business opportunities. However, this expansion has also left behind a significant challenge \u2013 an ever-increasing population of space debris, with over 40,000 objects currently observable in Earth’s orbit. With the number of satellite launches continuing to increase, ensuring the enduring viability of this vital frontier for future generations\u2009is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As active participants in space agencies and aerospace industries, how can we secure the long-term usability of space? And, how can we design and operate missions and space businesses with a keen focus on sustainability?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
