  space agencies\, aerospace industries or related fields and concerned abo
 ut preserving the sustainability and safety of the space environment in th
 e long-term\n\n----------------------------------------------\n\nIn recent
  years\, the exponential growth of spatial activities\, driven in part by 
 theexpanding commercial use of space\, has yielded promising business oppo
 rtunities.However\, this expansion has also left behind a significant chal
 lenge – an ever-increasing population of space debris\, with over 28\,00
 0 objects currently observablein Earth's orbit. How can we secure the long

 tc.)\n\nInteract with the most recent research developments and explore th
 e potentialadvantages of incorporating Environmental Social Governance (ES
