This incident serves as an example of the urgent need for a profound shift toward sustainable space practices.
Proponents of a circular space economy advocate for a transformative departure from this wasteful paradigm.
Much like embracing reusable materials on Earth, transitioning to a circular space economy means designing space systems with reuse, refurbishment and recyclability in mind.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has emerged as a trailblazer in the pursuit of a circular space economy.
By leading the charge toward sustainable space practices, NASA can inspire other space agencies and private companies to follow suit.
