Science Diplomacy in Crowded Orbits: The Global Challenge of a Sustainable Space Age

As Earth’s orbit becomes increasingly crowded with satellites, spacecraft, and debris, the need for a sustainable future in space has never been more urgent.
Ensuring the safe and responsible use of outer space is not only a scientific and technical challenge—it’s an international effort that spans engineering, policy, and the arts.
Join us for an evening exploring how interdisciplinary and cross-border collaboration can shape the future of space governance and sustainability. Experts will discuss the roles of science, diplomacy, and creative practice in supporting a secure and equitable space environment.
Following the event, visit Cosmograph: Speculative Fictions for the New Space Age, now on view at the MIT Museum.
This program is presented in partnership with the Science Diplomacy Grid.
