A space revolution
A revolution is afoot in space logistics. Starting with shoebox-sized “nanosatellites”, we now have a reusable rocketry renaissance, and soon swarming satellite “mega-constellations” providing continuous internet to the planet. These developments could provide wonderful benefits, but also bring serious sustainability challenges, one of them being increased congestion and orbital debris.
Time to (re)think, time to (re)act
50 years of government-led space activities are now being reinvented by all stakeholders. And it should be done with ESA and UN sustainability goals in mind.
Introducing the Sustainable Space Logistics (SSL) initiative: in 2019, we at the EPFL Space Center (eSpace) in Lausanne, Switzerland, started a research initiative on Sustainable Space Logistics (link). The theme of space logistics is still largely untouched, and will be the backbone of multiple large-scale applications in new materials & services, data, human spaceflight, etc.
Get onboard !
For this first digital event on SSL, we invite you on a 3-days journey featuring space and sustainability experts, as well as observers from outside the space area.
Don't miss anything
The complete program and speakers will be unveiled soon, but book this event in your agenda now, so you don’t miss this first rendez-vous!

- Day 1 - we will explain the vision of SSL, and substantiate how space logistics and sustainability are connected.
- Day 2 - we propose to look at the ongoing revolution gripping the NewSpace industry. We will also compare to the perspective of another industry that has faced similar challenges.
- Day 3 - we would like to conclude on future perspectives, higlighting Swiss success stories such as ClearSpace, looking at the legal and policy frameworks, and also giving voice to the younger generation.
