Implemented by the ESA Directorate of Operations, it leverages the capabilities and solutions developed by the Space Safety Programme to foster collaborative capacity building activities with all relevant actors of the European and global space sectors for the achievement of a Zero Debris future by 2030 and to ensure the availability of space weather services in Europe.
