Space sustainability is often written off as a ‘nice to have’, idealist concept in tension with the economic demands of a commercial space enterprise. Yet when assessed at a deeper level, sustainability could be a critical piece of sustained and expanded revenue generation in Earth’s orbit. Fully fielded capabilities in space situational awareness, space traffic management, full lifecycle operations, debris removal, and a circular economy are zones of opportunity for today's space players to benefit in tomorrow.

This panel explores how and why a sustainable space operations approach can improve the bottom line, and potential consequences of a laissez-faire approach on the space and terrestrial economies.
