Insight | Space sustainability report
Corporate
To coincide with the 4th Summit for Space Sustainability, Inmarsat published a far-reaching report to enhance sustainability, reduce satellite debris and strengthen the protection of the many benefits we enjoy from space.
Compiled with the help of AstroAnalytica, it sets out a series of practical actions that can be immediately adopted by all satellite operators in pursuit of space sustainability. It calls for changes in operational practices, sound regulation, and a greater sense of space environmentalism.
I firmly believe that the smart, sustainable use of space can make our planet a better place. But as we rush to put thousands more objects in orbit, there is a considerable risk that without immediate, concerted action we will leave space as a greatly diminished asset for generations to come.
