Description
In alignment with the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Zero Debris Approach, a series of key initiatives are being launched to advance space sustainability. This presentation aims to highlight the core objectives of the Zero Debris Approach, focusing particularly on the current and upcoming activities at the platform level. These initiatives include the development of platform evolutions designed to implement the Zero Debris Policy for various spacecraft, spanning large Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, Satcom, small spacecraft, and CubeSat platforms. By enhancing debris mitigation and end-of-life disposal strategies, these efforts are crucial for preserving a sustainable orbital environment for future space operations. Future activities may also include studies on lunar missions, expanding the reach of this approach beyond Earth’s orbit. The presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of these developments and their expected contributions to long-term space sustainability.
