We are very excited to announce that from June 3rd to June 5th, 2026, Politecnico di Milano (Italy) will host the Second “Space capacity allocation for the sustainability of space activities” workshop.
The workshop is open to space operators, regulators, researchers working in the space debris field and in space law.
The aim of the workshop is:
- to discuss and compare current advances in research on space capacity modelling and management towards reaching an international agreement on modelling the space capacity and defining an accepted threshold.
- to offer a constructive and interdisciplinary framework to advance the discussion on space sustainability and space capacity management, including from a legal and economic perspective.
- to engage with the different factors that affect space sustainability at large, such as long-term orbital capacity, short term slotting for space traffic management, emission into the atmosphere at re-entry and launch, integration between re-entry and air traffic control, light pollution by orbiting spacecraft.
The workshop is organised by Politecnico di Milano, the European Space Agency, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) and EUCASS.
The workshop is sponsored by the GREEN SPECIES project funded by the European Research Council led by Politecnico di Milano and co-sponsored by Secure World Foundation.

Registration will close on 29/04/2026
