Space Sustainability Rating

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.

“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" - @space_enabled of her work on #spacesustainability & the SSR. @techreview technologyreview.com/2023/08/22/107…

🛰️The abstract submission deadline for #Commons in #Space 2023 (online) conference will be September 14. We have 5 tracks & offer waivers for #earlycareer scholars and practitioners from the #GlobalSouth. Please share with those who might be interested! 2023space.iasc-commons.org

We're proud to share our 2022 Progress Report for the Space Sustainability Rating! Please take a look and learn about the exciting activities that took place last year. @eSpace_EPFL @esa @BryceSpaceTech @medialab @wef @UTAustin spacesustainabilityrating.org/wp-content/upl…

Watch the video of my presentation to @UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. As an advisor to the US Delegation, I shared about my research to design space-enabled systems that contribute to the @GlobalGoalsUN with Ghana & Angola. #space4sdgs media.mit.edu/posts/danielle…

We're very proud to be awarded 3rd place for the 2023 GCSP Prize for Transformative Futures in Peace and Security! Thank you to @TheGCSP @BryceSpaceTech @wef @medialab @esa @eSpace_EPFL @UTAustin, & many more! #GCSPPrize #GCSPTransformativeFuturesDay #spacesustainability

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 utilization founded in space environmentalism and sustainability! Let's see which government will be first across the line on doing this...Using the SSR in this manner is a lot more measurable than stating zero debris or space sustainability policies.

"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." @space_enabled talks to @NPRShortWave about the SSR and the importance of #spacesustainability! @eSpace_EPFL @EPFL_en npr.org/2023/03/31/116…

🚀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. @SSR_Rating is helping users understand #sustainability in space with a new rating system. 👉esa.int/Enabling_Suppo…

L'espace est vaste, mais les places en orbite terrestre sont limitées. Découvrez la notation #SpaceSustainability de @SSR_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, @SSR_Rating , aiuta a fare luce sui comportamenti nello spazio. esa.int/Enabling_Suppo… @esa #ESA

🛰 Space is vast, but as humankind sends more and more spacecrafts into orbit each year, it is starting to get crowded. @SSR_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… @spaceforearth

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 @spaceforearth for giving us an opportunity to explain what the SSR is striving to achieve!
