SUMMARY:EUCASS 2027
DESCRIPTION:Info session objective: This session will provide a high-level overview of what Space Sustainability means: understand how can we secure the long-term usability of space and\, how can we design and operate missions and space businesses with a keen focus on sustainability. \nTarget audience: Space stakeholders (engineers\, scientists\, non technical managers\, policy practitioners etc)\, active in space agencies\, aerospace industries or related fields and concerned about preserving the sustainability and safety of the space environment in the long-term \n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n\n			\n							REGISTER\n							\n						\n		\n	\n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n\n						\n		\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	In recent years\, the exponential growth of spatial activities\, driven in part by the expanding commercial use of space\, has yielded promising business opportunities.However\, this expansion has also left behind a significant challenge – an ever-increasing population of space debris\, with over 28\,000 objects currently observable in Earth's orbit. How can we secure the long-term usability of space and design space businesses and missions with a focus on sustainability? \nSpace Sustainability is a new EPFL short program designed to: \nUnderstand what space sustainability means (from historical\, geopolitical\,economic\, societal\, and environmental perspectives) and how to measure it \nExplore tools and methodologies for developing more sustainable space missions (ESA's MASTER and DRAMA suite\, Space Sustainability Rating\, Life Cycle Assessment & Environmental Impact Assessment\, etc.) \nInteract with the most recent research developments and explore the potential advantages of incorporating Environmental Social Governance (ESG) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies within the space sector \nThis course is organized by EPFL Space Center (eSpace)\, EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne) in collaboration with International Space University (ISU)\, IMS Space Consultancy and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The program is designed for individuals engaged in space-related roles (engineers\, scientists\, non-technical managers\, policy practitioners\, etc.) and who share a common focus on ensuring the long-term sustainability and safety of the space environment. \nThis course will take place March 24-27\, 2025\n \n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n\n			\n							Course information & registration
