The #space environment provides countless benefits and capabilities, from connectivity and communication to enabling applications that can help address the effects of climate change. But if we don’t take care in how we explore and operate in this unique environment, we put our ability to access space at serious risk – for ourselves and future generations. Last week’s 6th Annual Summit for Space Sustainability hosted in Tokyo by Secure World Foundation brought together industry, government, and multilateral organisations with a focus on the opportunities and challenges for a rapidly growing space economy. Questions like: ➡ how to ensure equitable access to space for all countries, especially those that need solutions from space to combat the effects of climate change; ➡ how to balance the rapid growth in commercial space activity with a default sustainable mindset; ➡ and how to tackle the issue of space debris, including manage existing debris, and minimising creation of debris in future... These were just a few of the topics covered in a series of engaging and thought-provoking sessions. In line with our #AstraCarta mandate, SMI's Space Sustainability Task Force is exploring tangible ways the private sector can help enable and accelerate solutions to support sustainable use of space. The conference was an important chance to learn new insights, make new connections, and importantly, bring private sector perspectives to the conversation.

𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 "𝐃𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝" 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐲 Today and tomorrow, the Summit for Space Sustainability is being hosted in Tokyo, Japan. Fascinating discussions on space policy in general, and space sustainability specifically. Key takeaways from day 1 as we are wrapping up: 1. 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 from Paul Bate (UK Space Agency): Sustainability should be the golden seam of endeavoring into space. 2. 𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐔𝐎𝐒 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝, which made sense during the time it was formed. Now the commercial sector is very much leading in space, and there is a challenge to truly bring their voice to CUPUOS (MHD FAIROS ASILLAM). 3. 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲. There is often a temptation to immediately and proactively start regulating, even when the problems, and thus policy solutions, are not yet clear (Gabriel Swiney) 4. 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: From an Australian industry perspective, they moved forward without any regulation around 20 years ago (Jeremy Hallett). Currently, a cohesive national space policy is still missing in Australia, and the industry is in need of clarity. From Gabriel Swiney from US Space Commerce's perspective, a national commercial space policy might be restrictive for industry. Rather, there should be the right policy environment that meets commercial and even academic needs. 5. 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐲, sharing an interesting idea from Juli Lawless around space situational awareness: operators should strive to be "good neighbors." Publish your planned maneuvers or at least maneuver timing so that collisions (or nerve-wracking close calls) can be more easily prevented. Thanks, Peter Martinez, Secure World Foundation, Japan's Space Policy Secretariat and extended team for organizing this important summit!

The initial outcome of #COPUOS2024 initiative; "Incentives for companies to employ sustainable solutions," is poised to significantly advance #sustainable practices in outer space. Throughout history, human endeavors have been driven by two pivotal elements: #Motive and #Incentive. These factors crucially influence our determination and progress toward achieving desired goals 🎯. By advocating for the incentivization of companies that adopt ♻️sustainable solutions, this initiative will fundamentally transform our approach to utilizing outer space, steering it towards the greater good of humanity.

Happy World Environment Day! 🌍 At Creation-Space, we believe that space exploration and environmental protection go hand in hand. Our mission focuses on developing technologies for survival and thriving beyond Earth that also have a profound impact here on Earth. On this Environmental Day, we wish to highlight 3 ways in which space technology advances environmental causes: 1 - Dual Application Innovations 💧 Breakthroughs like solar panels and water purification systems, initially developed for space missions, are now vital tools in our fight against climate change and resource scarcity. 2 - Sustainable Practices 🌿 Efficient, closed-loop systems designed for space habitats inspire sustainable living practices on Earth, promoting a circular economy and reducing waste. 3 - Global Collaboration 🤝 Space exploration fosters international cooperation, leading to shared knowledge and resources to tackle global environmental challenges. As we work towards pioneering the future of human space exploration, we're committed to leveraging our innovations for improving our home planet. Let’s use this day to reaffirm our commitment to protecting Earth and ensuring a sustainable future for all. #WorldEnvironmentDay #SpaceExploration #Sustainability #Innovation #ClimateChange #CreationSpace #FutureOfSpace #GlobalCollaboration

With an increasing number of institutions focused on space sustainability, there are questions about how to ensure they work together effectively. Our panel, “Choose Your Own Adventure? How to Manage the Many Forums for Space Sustainability,” will discuss strategies for improving coordination among formal UN institutions, self-organized groups of States, national agencies, and private sector initiatives.
