Eutelsat Group Achieves Platinum Score in Space Sustainability Rating

Business Wire
Eutelsat Group (ISIN: FR0010221234 - Euronext Paris / London
Stock Exchange: ETL), has announced that its first generation of
more than 600 satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) has achieved a
platinum rating in the Space Sustainability Rating (SSR), marking a
significant recognition of the company's commitment to responsible
space utilization.
First imagined at the World Economic Forum (WEF), the rating’s
aim is to reduce the creation of space debris, limit the risk of
satellite collisions, and help ensure space operations are managed
safely and sustainably.
An international consortium developed the methodology behind the
rating including experts from the European Space Agency, the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, BryceTech and the University
of Texas at Austin. eSpace – EPFL Space Center was chosen to
operationalise the SSR and lead its implementation in the hope to
recognize the space sustainability efforts of different space
actors, as well as recognizing compliance and encouraging
better-than-required behaviours.
The SSR rating is based on six modules, including: Mission
Index, which calculates the impact of spacecraft on operational
risk, Collision Avoidance Capabilities; Data Sharing;
Detectability, Identification and Trackability; Application of
Design and Operation Standards; as well as the use of future
External Services.
By surpassing the 80% threshold, resulting in the highest-level
rating, a platinum level Space Sustainability Rating score,
Eutelsat Group's achievement underscores the Group’s dedication to
prioritizing sustainable design and operations of the
constellation.
"With our increased presence in both LEO and geostationary orbit
(GEO), we remain committed to the sustainable and responsible use
of space” said Eva Berneke, CEO of Eutelsat Group. “We are honoured
to receive SSR’s recognition and congratulations to the entire team
for their hard work and dedication to sustainable and safe
operations."
