Environmental Task Force.

Led by global partners across several sectors, the Environmental Task Force aims to better understand the impact of the space industry.

Environmental Task Force.

The Environmental Task Force, guided by Space Scotland and our global partners in industries including space, environmental, government and academia, are committed to understanding the space industry’s impact on Earth and low-Earth orbit.

Co-chaired by Andrew Fournet and Sharon Pryde, the group’s ongoing Sustainable Space Challenges initiative, exploring more sustainable approaches to space exploration, continues to be a success. You can find more about this and the Environmental Task Force’s other initiatives below.

Membership of the Environmental Task Force is open to global organisations as long as they have an demonstrable interest in space sustainability. Also, representatives must be able to commit enough time and energy to support successful outcomes.
