Cosmos for Humanity signs the Zero Debris Charter

Cosmos for Humanity is the first NGO for the sustainable development of space activities to sign the Zero Debris Charter!

👏 We congratulate the 40 companies and organizations that have made a strong commitment to sustainable space. 

Thank you to European Space Agency - ESA and M. Josef Aschbacher for initiating this ambitious charter involving institutions, companies and NGOs. 

We would also like to thank Quentin Verspieren and his team for all their work, both on stage and behind the scenes, over the past year. 

🛰 The Zero Debris Charter helps to continue and accelerate the current movement to make space stakeholders more responsible for the sustainable use of space. It is this movement that will ultimately enable us to build a sustainable business model for space debris removal and orbits cleaning operators.

🤜 Building on these foundations laid by European Space Agency - ESA, we now call on the European Parliament and the European Commission to take responsibility for a sustainable space. The work carried out by ESA must feed into the work begun on the European union Space Law (EUSL) in which Cosmos for Humanity took part during the November surveys. In the future, European regulations should make it possible to transform the moral responsibility of operators, introduced by this Charter, into a legal responsibility, which would not be limited to damage caused in orbit, but would extend to damage caused to the orbital environment. With all that this will imply in terms of European environmental law, CSRD and Green Taxonomy.

❌ The time for irresponsible use of space is over.

👀 Next step for Cosmos for Humanity ➡ Bringing space to citizens at the Cosmos Rangers Citzens Congress and introducing them to the Zero Debris Charter.
