Description
ESA has started to include mandatory requirements into some its projects to perform an assessment of the environmental impacts. While the LCA approach might be relatively new for the space sector some valuable experience has already been gathered by primes in implementing LCA in ESA projects. LCA requirements are indeed been followed at different phases of a mission. In this session the primes will share their experience by giving feedback on the most challenging aspects of LCA and eco-design implementation. The current and future challenges of the implementation of LCA in projects and the steps to be taken will be afterwards discussed in a round table.
