Aero Space Kinross

By exploring the far boundaries of our Universe, we realise, looking back at Earth, just how fragile our world and its resources are. As we navigate through environmental and other global challenges, space has enormous untapped potential to help tackle future crises. Keeping that in mind, the space industry needs to develop and evolve in a more responsible way, so as to avoid putting our planet under more pressure and to keep exploring space in a maintainable way.

Our sustainability policy is fully aligned with the intent of the statement and based on 3 pillars: space for people, space for environment and space for progress. Our purpose is to pioneer the European access to Space for the wellbeing of all citizens in a safe world.

The importance of the commercial space sector developing in an environmentally conscious manner is of utmost important to the AstroAgency team and so many of the 50+ companies we support every day. We believe the upstream supply chain can make a contribution to new zero goals by reducing its environmental impact, while downstream data can protect earth’s environments.

Augusta Abogados

This matter is of upmost importance for future sustainable activities. We would like to participate in next developments, especially from a legal/regulatory perspective.

Sustainability is visible in every aspect of Aurora: the first of our company values is "Sustainability in orbit and on Earth" which provides guidance for our actions. Our product portfolio consists of in-space propulsion systems relying on two core technologies: resistojet thrusters and electrostatic tethers. Both of these technologies have a large number of use cases, but we've chosen to focus on collision avoidance (with the ARM-C thruster system) and deorbiting (with the Plasma Brake deorbiting device), as these are the most urgent threats to sustainable LEO operations.

Aurora Environmental Consulting Limited

Sustainable space is essential for our future on Earth, in orbit, and beyond. From minimising the impact of the burgeoning space industry on the environment here on Earth, to preserving the ability to pass through Earth’s orbits and ensuring the integrity of other planetary bodies, We are committed to using our knowledge and understanding from decades of environmental management here on Earth and transposing the environmental stewardship lessons learnt into our next global development phases of space-based industry and further deep space exploration.

CisLunar Industries

CisLunar Industries envisions a vibrant in-space circular economy, where artificial and natural resources are processed and used effectively and efficiently, where Earth’s orbital environment is sustainable, and where movement of assets in space is not limited by launch constraints. We envision a future where humanity is enabled and empowered to expand beyond Earth to permanently and sustainably settle the Solar System. Our space foundry was built to safely process metal in space, like space debris, to provide resources in orbit or on the Lunar surface as opposed to bringing resources from Earth.

As a space agency, CNES is committed to imagining and offering a sustainable space. It works with the ecosystem (agencies, industry, scientists) to propose and implement a trajectory for the development and operation of space missions that respects the terrestrial and extra-atmospheric environment.

Cosmos for Humanity

Cosmos for Humanity has signed the “Statement for a Responsible Space Sector” to underline its commitment to the sustainable and responsible management of the space industry. By adhering to this initiative, we pledge to guide our activities in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. Cosmos for Humanity actively supports any project aimed at promoting space sustainability, working with other industry players to maximize available resources and expertise. Cosmos for Humanity is equipped with a diverse team whose varied skill sets uniquely position us to contribute effectively to the Statement's objectives.

ENPULSION is by nature supporting Space Sustainability measures by providing in-orbit mobility and the whole team is driven by this higher purpose. In joining the conversation with the Statement and its supporting company, we hope to further strengthen this commitment by sharing our expertise in on-orbit operations, standardisation, and learning from other companies.

EPFL Space Center

The EPFL Space Center has been active in research about space sustainability since several years. In 2023 we launched the Sustainable Space Hub. Research topics have included active debris removal which led to the creation of the ClearSpace spin-off, sustainable space logistics (SSL), a space sustainability rating (SSR) which later become its own independent association, the assessment of environmental impacts of (future) launch vehicles. Recently, new projects have been put in place, with a tool for simplified life cycle assessment of (future) space transportation vehicles, or about policy options and interrelations with Earth system governance.

Eutelsat signed the statement as we are absolutely committed to the responsible use of Space and to take a leading role within the industry to develop and drive sustainability practices within the industry. Cooperation between actors is fundamental t and we see the ESA initiative as a key forum to achieve this.
