Scotland’s space sector has published a new “roadmap”, believed to be the first of its kind, in an effort to make the industry more sustainable.
The report addresses areas such as the environmental impacts of building, fuelling and launching satellites, as well as the importance of promoting satellite data for environmental monitoring.
It sets out the steps needed to improve the sustainability of Scottish space missions, which are to be space debris neutral, with zero emissions created from on-the-ground activities.
