Scotland has undertaken a mission to develop the universe's greenest space industry.
Scotland’s missions to the final frontier aim to be the greenest in the universe as the emerging space sector announces a new roadmap for sustainability.
The plan, which is the first of its kind in the world and beyond,
outlines the procedures for rocket and satellite launches in order to realise the long-term goals of leaving no debris in space,
producing no greenhouse gases from ground activities, and having the nation become known throughout the world as a leader in sustainable operations.
Scotland has some of the greatest levels of space-related activity in all of Europe,
the space sector is growing there more quickly than anyplace else in the UK.
The environmental effects of developing, fueling, and launching spacecraft are among the topics covered.
