GNOSIS
THE GLOBAL NETWORK ON SUSTAINABILITY IN SPACE
We bring together scientists and industry to understand and solve problems related to the ever growing problem of space debris and the challenges of safeguarding spacecraft set to launch into this environment.
To succeed in achieving
Sustainability in Space
Requires an understanding the nature of space debris and the application of law to the space environment. Through a cross disciplinary approach we aim to bring together teams of scientists and expose them to the problems faced by industry and help them apply their knowledge in tackling problems associated with space debris.
Learn more about the problem of space debris.
What GNOSIS does
GNOSIS organises thematic meetings and “jargon busting” workshops to facilitate discussions aimed at bringing scientists and industry together. It also provides seed funding for joint projects and in more advanced cases, provides part funding for graduate students.

I'm watching the @NASA spacewalk and noticed this. Is this space junk? If so that's a very close call! I saw another one in an additional clip. #spacejunk #spacedebris #micrometeor #spacewalk
One could only be darkly amused to find that on Monday, the plot of 2013's "Gravity" almost became reality as the remnants of a Russian anti-missile test ripped past the ISS. #Spacejunk is real. https://www.wired.com/story/the-us-space-force-wants-to-clean-up-junk-in-orbit/
