NASA Unveils Comprehensive Space Sustainability Strategy
==========

NASA has introduced the first installment of its Space Sustainability Strategy, emphasizing the urgency and necessity of the initiative. The strategy outlines NASA's commitment to maintaining leadership in space sustainability, promoting fair access to space, and ensuring that its operations contribute positively to sustainability. It addresses the challenges posed by increased commercial activity in space, including heightened satellite activity and the rise of autonomous spacecraft and commercial outposts, which have led to a more congested and debris-laden environment. A cross-agency advisory board guided the development of this strategy, aiming to refine methods for assessing sustainability in Earth orbit, exploring cost-effective sustainability solutions, fostering sustainable technology and policy, and enhancing global communication about space sustainability. The strategy focuses on Earth orbit, with subsequent volumes to address other operational domains. NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy emphasized the need for action now to preserve critical parts of space for future generations.
