Sustainable Space Operations

Sustainable Space Operations refer to practices and strategies aimed at ensuring the long-term viability and minimal environmental impact of activities conducted in outer space. This concept encompasses the responsible use of space resources, the management of space debris, and the preservation of the space environment to support future exploration and utilization. Sustainable Space Operations seek to balance the benefits of space activities—such as satellite communications, Earth observation, and scientific research—with the need to protect both the orbital environment and celestial bodies from contamination and degradation. This includes implementing policies for responsible satellite launches, end-of-life disposal plans for spacecraft, and collaborative international efforts to promote safe and sustainable practices in space exploration.
