Take Action Against Space Debris
Mitigation of space debris is a complex matter that cannot be solved without the commitment of nations and private companies alike. Legally binding treaties, bilateral communication protocols, resilient manufacturing, and active debris removal technology — there has been a lot of deliberation with little action. Here is what you can do to speed things up.
Get involved in policy
Public support is key in ensuring real change. One of the goals of the Space Trash Signs initiative is to raise awareness for political efforts for dealing with space debris. Below are a few national and international efforts you can support by amplifying and signing.
Zero Debris Charter, European Space Agency
A Personal Vision for a Circular Space Economy by Dr. Moriba Jah
National Orbital Debris Mitigation Plan, U.S. Government
Support sustainable tech solutions
Another goal of the initiative is to raise awareness for companies that are working on innovative debris removal and prevention systems, such as the ones listed below. If you have a suggestion for who to add, feel free to reach out.
Spread the word
Space is everybody’s business. Share the project in your circles to spread awareness and increase public engagement in the matters of space. The initiative is also open to collaborations, whether you’re an educator, scientist, startup founder, artist, or just someone passionate about space.
