European satellite manufactures will meet in March to discuss redesigning low-orbit missions in order to combat the increasing problem of space debris.
The workshop has been an initiative of ESA's Clean Space Initiative. It will be a forum where European companies will have the opportunity to present their own technologies for debris mitigation, said ESA's representative Jessica Delaval.
A cleaner low-orbit will be particularly beneficial for Earth observation missions and some classes of communication satellite, not to mention manned spacecraft and the International Space Station.
More information about the workshop and how to attend can be found in the workshop's website.
