GNOSIS supports the scientific community to apply their knowledge to developing solutions for sustainability in space. Through a cross-disciplinary approach we bring together teams of scientists and expose them to the problems faced by industry and government, including the impact of debris and space weather on the growing spacecraft population, and applications of policy and law.

Learn more about the problem of space debris.
