Clean Orbit Foundation

Whether you know it or not, our daily lives are heavily powered by the services in space. Our presence is continuing to grow rapidly in orbit, and we are expecting tens of thousands of new satellites and payloads to launch over the coming decade. As we continue to do this, orbit continues to become more congested with satellites, debris, defunct rocket bodies, and much more. 

The commercial sector is rapidly outpacing policy and regulations at a domestic and international level. What makes space a unique domain compared to those down on Earth is the fact that there are no borders in space – it is considered a global resource. Unfortunately, this makes international politics very difficult and complex to create. As it stands, the policies, treaties, and regulations that we have today at an international level are considered voluntary at best. With the space economy projected to continue growing exponentially, something needs to change. 

The Clean Orbit Foundation is here to be a global platform for generating more awareness for the threats we face in orbit while also advocating for more sustainable standards and best practices. We aim to help unify international stakeholders from commercial, government, academia, non-profits, NGOs, research institutions, etc., and advocate for change that can help put us on a safer and more sustainable path for the future of all space activities.
