Description
This presentation is to present our current findings on how a circular economy can be extended to outer space. We take a look at other industries and identify the requirements of circular material flows in space. We then describe a case study for a typical spacecraft and outline a process to change from linear to circular perspective, and to servicing, reuse, and remanufacturing in space.
I am a doctoral candidate at Luleå University of Technology (LTU), where I conduct research on accelerating industry-scale transformation and best practices to enable Sustainable-Design-by-Default, with currently focusing on the space industry, clothing, and resilience of supply chain.
This research is published within the Creaternity Space Lab and Astromerge.
