🔥 The space debris topic is HOT 🔥
Space debris and its mitigation are an omnipresent topic on this year's space conferences all over the world.
In February, the first Space Debris Conference took place in Saudi Arabia. The ASCEND conference in Las Vegas, which runs the next few days, discusses space sustainability: "We have landfills in space, but we don’t have to". And also, on this year's Space Tech Expo in Bremen in November, space debris mitigation is one of the main topics on the agenda.
🚀🤝 ExoSat's active debris removal solution is a core innovation in the field of space debris mitigation and our team is already looking forward to meeting you at many of those events!

As the UK’s space gateway, and one of our world leading sectors, the Thames Valley has built a global reputation for innovation in the space sector.
That’s why we’re pleased to see that, this week, the UK Government has published the Space Industrial Plan - from ambition to action – advancing UK Space Industry, a joint civil-defence plan that sets out to modernise the relationship between government and the commercial space sector, establishing clear visions, missions, and actions to unlock growth and develop resilient space capabilities.
The Plan sets out five specific capability goals to direct resources and efforts to these areas of strategic importance and expected industry focus:
🌌 Space Domain Awareness (SDA)
🌌 In-orbit servicing, assembly & manufacturing
🌌 Space data for earth applications
🌌 Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT)
🌌 Satellite communication technology
This plan will focus on where we want to achieve UK leadership in specific capabilities and indicate where government expects a focus of resources across the space industry, and how we intend to change the way we work with the space industry to achieve a shared vision.

“The way China has clinically studied us and our dependence on space…and now are rapidly building systems to hold that architecture at risk,” he said at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
What was it made for? Whiting talked about a “vulnerability window” for America’s space assets, many of which were built for a benign environment. But that’s not the case anymore: China and Russia have counterspace capabilities designed to target US assets—especially secure communications, PNT, and missile warning. Until the military has finished hardening those targets to protect them from attacks, there is a window in which an adversary could successfully target them.
Whiting also predicted Russia’s significant ground losses in Ukraine could force the nation to target assets in orbit to gain an advantage on Earth. “Their losses in the Ukraine conflict will take years to rebuild in terms of terrestrial offensive capabilities, which will likely encourage Russia to become more reliant on nuclear, cyber, and space capabilities,” he wrote in prepared testimony”.
China is advancing so “breathtakingly fast” in space that America is at risk of losing its advantage if officials don’t prioritize investment in the national security space architecture, the chief of US Space Command told Congress on Thursday.

"Session 2: Space Sustainability – Binding Regulation -v-The Space Race." "The space economy is evolving like never before. An unprecedented amount of public and private investment is going into new constellations leading to a renewed space race, and, causing concern for governments the world over about the sustainability of space for future generations. The boom in satellites being launched into space was arguably foreseeable a decade ago. This led to the adoption of the Long-Term Sustainability Guidelines by the UN in 2019. Yet the world remains far from agreeing on a binding set of norms and regulations that are vitally needed if the risks resulting from congestion in space are truly to be mitigated. Voluntary initiatives such as Charters and Sustainability Ratings continue to emerge but risk falling short of making a tangible difference. The European Union however is pioneering an approach that could put Europe at the forefront of binding regulation. The proposed EU Space Law (EUSL) is set to provide potentially binding measures (rules) and non-binding measures (labels) for the development of sustainable activities in space."...

"By the end of the decade, global space economy is set to reach $1 trillion. The massive growth in space economy has not only come from legacy spacefaring governments, but a rise in successful commercial ventures and the inclusion of dozens of new national space programs. Space capabilities have enabled, and continue to lead to, transformative societal changes on Earth, but they must also be managed responsibly to ensure operations remain sustainable and equitable.
The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) has been the primary custodian of the peaceful use of outer space since the adoption of the Outer Space Treaty in 1967. In the past decade, the organization’s mandate has become even more profound with the growing opportunities for collaboration within the space enterprise. This will require innovative solutions to effectively integrate and adopt responsible practices, from local action to broader international space governance.
Please join the GeoTech Center on Friday, April 5, at 8:30 a.m. ET for a conversation with Aarti Holla-Maini, Director of UNOOSA, to discuss the growing role of the private sector in supporting international space collaboration. The discussion will be moderated by Managing Editor of Payload, Jacqueline Feldscher."

The United States Government is partnering with the U.S. commercial space sector, allowing for continued U.S. leadership in the global space economy, national security, space exploration, combating the climate crisis, and much more. U.S. commercial space innovation includes activities that were once only conducted by governments or never conducted in space by anyone before, including commercial space stations, commercial payloads to/on the Moon, and commercial in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing.
To enable continued innovation, clarity is required for a predictable, flexible, and timely regulatory ecosystem to enable these types of novel commercial space activities. This includes clarity on which agency is responsible for which types of activity. The National Space Council led an interagency process to draft legislation to make such an ecosystem a reality. It capitalizes on existing regulatory expertise and highlights the importance of the safety in and sustainability of the space environment.
Thank you to Departments of Commerce and Transportation for their strong alignment in crafting this legislation. Thank you to the many other U.S. departments and agencies for their advocacy and endorsement of this legislation, who stand to benefit from commercial novel space activities. Finally, thank you to Diane Howard, Director of Commercial Space Policy on the National Space Council, for her leadership in guiding this complicated interagency effort.
We commend the US Government for drafting this bill to open up Space to the US and Global community - to build a space economy, ensure national security, and, among other goals - help address climate change.
Let's also remember that Space, such as through satellite imagery has a growing role to play in understanding and anticipating health risks here on Earth.

"Session 3: Delivering Economic Security – The path to a self-reliant European space supply chain"- "The EU finds itself at a crucial junction concerning its leadership in the space domain. Over the past years, and against a background of intensifying geopolitical tensions, the European Union dependency on space-based technologies, components and advanced materials has been-increasing, feeding a profound reflection on our global economy, national security, and everyday lives. This session will look at the actions that need to be taken to ensure the long-term sustainability and resilience of the European space industry. It will explore the importance of fostering a culture of innovation, resilience and collaboration among European space stakeholders, ensuring a steady flow of investment into cutting-edge technologies, and streamlining regulatory processes to accelerate the development and deployment of new space capabilities. As we navigate the complexities of an emerging space race, the European space industry stands at a crossroads. How can we ensure that we take the right path and ensure a secure, sustainable and resiliant European Space Supply Chain that continues to support our economic prosperity, delivering societal well-being and global leadership?"
