The Space Debris Office, primarily associated with the European Space Agency (ESA), is dedicated to addressing the growing issue of space debris. As a research and operational entity, it coordinates research activities, develops technology, and provides support for missions to mitigate debris-related risks. The office collaborates with space agencies like ASI, UKSA, CNES, and DLR, focusing on measurements, modeling, protection, and mitigation of space debris. The Space Debris office also supports the ESA Space Safety Programme, which covers all aspects of protection of our planet, humanity and assets in space and on Earth from hazards originating in space.
