ESA and SpaceX Collaborate to Tackle Space Debris
TL;DR
The European Space Agency (ESA) is in discussions with SpaceX to join the Zero Debris Charter, an international agreement aimed at reducing space junk by 2030. SpaceX's satellites make up a significant portion of the current low-Earth orbit population, and their involvement could bolster efforts to mitigate space debris. The charter, which has over 100 signatories, seeks to prevent the creation of new orbital debris, a growing concern as more organizations launch large satellite constellations.
