To address a rapidly changing space operating environment and ensure its

preservation for generations to come, NASA released the first part of its
integrated Space Sustainability Strategy, on April 9, advancing the
agency窶冱 role as a global leader on this crucial issue.

窶弋he release of this strategy marks true progress for NASA on space
sustainability,窶� said NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy. 窶彜pace is busy
窶� and only getting busier. If we want to make sure that critical parts of
space are preserved so that our children and grandchildren can continue to
use them for the benefit of humanity, the time to act is now. NASA is
making sure that we窶决e aligning our resources to support sustainable
activity for us and for all.窶�

For decades, NASA has served as a proactive leader for responsible and
sustainable space operations. Entities across the agency develop best
practices, analytic tools, and technologies widely adopted by operators
around the world. The new strategy seeks to integrate those efforts through
a whole-of-agency approach 窶� allowing NASA to focus its resources on the
most pressing issues. To facilitate that integration, NASA will appoint a
new director of space sustainability to coordinate activities across the
agency.

Key aspects of our approach include providing global leadership in space
sustainability, supporting equitable access to space, and ensuring NASA窶冱
missions and operations enhance space sustainability.

Space environments currently are seeing the rapid emergence of commercial
capabilities, many of them championed by NASA. These capabilities include
increased low Earth orbit satellite activity and plans for the use of
satellite constellations, autonomous spacecraft, and commercial space
destinations. However, this increased activity also has generated
challenges, such as an operating environment more crowded with spacecraft
and increased debris. Understanding the risks and benefits associated with
this growth is crucial for space sustainability.

Developed under the leadership of a crossagency advisory board, the space
sustainability strategy focuses on advancements NASA can make toward
measuring and assessing space sustainability in Earth orbit, identifying
cost-effective ways to meet sustainability targets, incentivizing the
adoption of sustainable practices through technology and policy
development, and increasing efforts to share and receive information with
the rest of the global space community.

NASA窶冱 approach to space sustainability recognizes four operational
domains: Earth, Earth orbit, the orbital area near and around the Moon
known as cislunar space, and deep space, including other celestial bodies.
The first volume of the strategy focuses on sustainability in Earth orbit.
NASA plans to produce additional volumes focusing on the other domains.
