Global Future Council on Space
The space sector is evolving rapidly, with new public- and private-sector actors propelling it towards commercial launch and space tourism, ever-larger constellations that provide connectivity and ever-more precise Earth observation, as well as partnerships for lunar exploration and beyond. As the domain undergoes this important transformation, the Global Future Council on Space will explore critical challenges for the sector, such as the need for new governance frameworks, new forms of public-private collaboration and a greater understanding of the sector’s socio-economic impact. The council will continue to support the development and launch of the Space Sustainability Rating (SSR) as well as consider the future of Space Situational Awareness (SSA) to ensure sustainable growth in activity in Earth orbits.
