En savoir plus sur nos programmes de soutienOn-orbit satellite servicing (OOS) and Active debris removal (ADR) are part of an emerging category of future on-orbit activities that are critical for taking the next leap into our use of Earth orbit. The ability to repair or refuel satellites, construct new satellites in orbit, and even remove orbital debris can help drive innovative uses of space and foster the sustainable use of outer space. These activities also raise a host of diplomatic, legal, safety, operational, and policy challenges that need to be tackled for this future to be possible.
The purpose of this conference is to review Europe's current OOS and ADR activities, and to analyze their legal, commercial and policy implications.
