RE:discovering Space

Space has long been a source of fascination for humanity, but we haven't always treated it with the care it deserves—as an extension of our environment. Today, the challenge to keep the sector’s planetary impact to a minimum is paramount.

We now have the mandate to place sustainability at the heart of space exploration, not only to lessen our impact on space's resources, but also to drive sustainable development on Earth.

Explore films and reports that shine a light on the innovations helping to address some of our most pressing challenges, including capturing solar energy, monitoring water quality and soil carbon levels, and cleaning up the debris littering low-earth orbit.

Powering Earth From Space

Space-based solar power harnesses the around-the-clock abundance of our sun in outer space. Sam Adlen, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Space Solar, explains the technology behind this innovation that once existed only in the realm of science fiction. Thanks to improvements in launch systems and cutting-edge design, space-based solar might be powering our energy grids sooner than we think.
