Welcome to our session where you will take part in an immersive simulation activity conducted by the European Space Agency (ESA) focusing on space debris cleanup and recycling around planet Earth. This hands-on experience will provide you with a unique opportunity to engage in the critical task of managing space debris and promoting sustainability in space exploration.

During the simulation, you will assume the role of space engineers tasked with devising strategies to collect and recycle debris orbiting our planet. By participating in this ESA simulation, you will gain valuable insights into the challenges and complexities of space debris mitigation and the importance of responsible space management practices.

Following the simulation activity, you will have the opportunity to reflect on your experiences and record your observations and insights in the CubeSat guidebook. This documentation will serve as a valuable resource for future analysis and planning, contributing to ongoing efforts to address the issue of space debris and promote sustainability in space exploration.

Join us as we embark on this journey of discovery and exploration. Through active participation, reflection, and data recording, you will not only deepen your understanding of space debris cleanup and recycling but also contribute to the advancement of sustainable practices in space exploration. Let’s work together to make a positive impact on the future of space exploration and environmental stewardship.
