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.

#SpaceDebris
The @SGACSpaceLaw US Taskforce is hosting a new webinar series encouraging discussion of the following question(s): how do we encourage and include diverse perspectives, experiences, and approaches from industry, academia, and government to address the #SpaceDebris crisis?
(For clarity, I can’t remember what I actually proposed in that paper… only that it was about #spacedebris… it’s been almost four years 😅)

#SpaceJunk
@WarInstitute @NATO @thejointstaff @ENERGY @TaiwanPresSPOX It’s said that certain #mircrobes can erode concrete at accelerated paces, so if you don’t want to use traditional warfare, use alternative germination
Also who’s to say #spacejunk facades cannot be of use?
So take that model to attack foreign 🛰
