Space is vast, but with humankind sending more and more spacecraft into orbit, it is starting to get uncomfortably crowded 🛰️ Space Sustainability Rating is a new non-profit association helping to shine a light on behaviours in space, one rating at a time: esa.int/Enabling_Suppo… #spacedebris

Protecting #spacesustainability is a collective and ambitious effort. Better understanding the footprint of #space missions and operations in orbit is the first step 🛰️🌏 Thank you Space for Earth for giving us an opportunity to explain what the SSR is striving to achieve!

🛰 Space is vast, but as humankind sends more and more spacecrafts into orbit each year, it is starting to get crowded. Space Sustainability Rating is a new non-profit association helping to shine a light on behaviours in space, one rating at a time. 🔗esa.int/Enabling_Suppo… Space for Earth

L'espace est vaste, mais les places en orbite terrestre sont limitées. Découvrez la notation #SpaceSustainability de Space Sustainability Rating qui vise à encourager les bonnes pratiques en orbite 👉 esa.int/Enabling_Suppo…

Uno alla volta...lo spazio è vasto, ma i veicoli spaziali in orbita sono sempre di più e ..si sta affollando. Una nuova associazione senza scopo di lucro, Space Sustainability Rating , aiuta a fare luce sui comportamenti nello spazio. esa.int/Enabling_Suppo… European Space Agency #ESA

🚀In 2022, a whopping 180 rockets were launched into space, many of them carrying loads destined for low earth orbit...which is getting uncomfortably crowded. Space Sustainability Rating is helping users understand #sustainability in space with a new rating system. 👉esa.int/Enabling_Suppo…

"In some ways, I was pleased that our first rating was low because it means we are all saying there's more to work to do and to grow." Danielle Wood talks to NPR's Short Wave about the SSR and the importance of #spacesustainability! @eSpace_EPFL EPFL npr.org/2023/03/31/116…

There's no reason why countries can't make the Space Sustainability Rating (SSR) a requirement for providing non-state actors, authorization to conduct space operations and activities. To Earth's governments: Step up and lead us into an era of space exploration and resource

“We’re at a moment of great influence within the space community, where the actions we take...will have a direct impact on how humans experience space for generations to come" - Danielle Wood of her work on #spacesustainability & the SSR. MIT Technology Review technologyreview.com/2023/08/22/107…

A very real reminder of how #SpaceDebris can potentially impact lives down here on Earth & why we need to take action for the long-term sustainability of space.
