Speaker

Francois Vinet (CNES)

Description

CNES, the French space agency, is actively involved in space sustainability efforts, for example through the development and use of environmental indices. Its unique position—as a regulator (through the French Space Operation Act), an operator (notably as the provider of the CAESAR collision avoidance service for EUSST), and a research actor—enables it to address space sustainability from multiple complementary perspectives. This presentation highlights CNES’s activities in the field of space sustainability and environmental indices, as well as how its dual role as both operator and regulator shapes their design and implementation.

Which section would you like to submit your abstract to? Session 5: “How to assess the impact of space missions onto the space environment?”
