🌍 The Earth: A 20-Year Journey 🌍 Take a moment to reflect on this beautiful image of Earth from space. Two decades ago, our planet looked quite different. Over the past 20 years, we have witnessed significant changes that have reshaped our world. 20 Years Ago: #EarthDay #ClimateChange #Sustainability #SaveOurPlanet #EnvironmentalAwareness #NatureConservation

In our new blog post, we return to our conversation with Maruška Strah from Space Sustainability Rating. It's all about celebrating small acts of sustainability and the actors committed to improving space missions!

Environmentally sustainable space transport We live in an age where human activity is the dominant influence on climate and the environment. Currently, the impact of space activities make up a tiny proportion of humankind’s emissions and environmental impact. But what is the environmental impact and sustainability of space transport – from rockets to transfer and return vehicles? Read more > https://lnkd.in/exQRa6Yg

"Excited to share my certificate from the insightful talk session on Space and Sustainability by Sri K Jayaram, conducted by Celestia NSSCE! 🚀🌱 Grateful for the opportunity to delve into the intersection of space exploration and environmental stewardship. Let's continue to explore, innovate, and protect our planet together! #Space #Sustainability #CelestiaNSSCE #EnvironmentalStewardship"

Even though technology has made the world feel smaller and more connected than ever before, there are still places on Earth that remain largely unexplored. It’s easy to think that we’ve mapped every corner of the planet, climbed the highest peaks, and dove to the deepest depths, but there are still some spots that are either incredibly hard to reach or so remote that only a few have ventured there. For the modern adventurer, these places, these unexplored adventures, are the last true frontiers of exploration and discovery.

🌱 Earth Day 2024: Space Sustainability Starts on Earth! 🌍 Happy Earth Day! Today, as we celebrate the beauty and resilience of our planet, it's crucial to remember that our efforts to protect Earth extend far beyond its atmosphere. #EarthDay is a powerful reminder that space sustainability begins here on our home planet. 🚀 The space domain is in the foreground in balancing innovation with environmental responsibility. That's why, earlier this year, we ranked some of the UK space companies considering their sustainable practices and eco-friendly approaches. 🔍 What UK companies should be added to the list? Write in comments the space firms and their ecological initiatives. Tap the link to see the FULL Ranking 👇 https://lnkd.in/g3vDiX4h

🌍 Embracing a Circular Space Economy for a Sustainable Future 🚀 🌌 The Circular Space Economy: A New Frontier A circular space economy focuses on reusing, recycling, and reducing waste, ensuring resources are utilized efficiently. This shift is crucial for sustainable space activities. 🌍 Sustainable Ventures Beyond Earth Establishing a circular space economy reduces space debris and promotes resource sustainability. Goals like the ESA’s Zero Debris Charter aim for ‘net debris zero’ by 2030, making space activities eco-friendly. ⚙️ Technical and Legal Challenges Transitioning involves overcoming technical and legal hurdles. Innovations in additive manufacturing and new materials are essential. Clear regulations and international cooperation are needed to manage liabilities and ensure compliance with sustainability goals. 💰 Economic Incentives and Collaboration Economic considerations are pivotal. Investing in R&D for sustainable technologies can be costly, but the long-term benefits are immense. Collaborative efforts among international space agencies and private entities are key. 🚀 The Path Forward Achieving a circular space economy requires global cooperation and political leadership. Regulators must enforce circular practices, and financial incentives should support sustainable technology development. With concerted efforts, we can secure a sustainable future in space. #SpaceEconomyMaster #SpaceEconomy #NewSpace #NewSpaceEconomy #SpaceEconomyInstitute #Space
