Reminder of webinar 1st July: ‘Waste of Space: The Environmental Cost of Human Activities in Space’
Posted: 30th June 2026
We are seeing an increasing exploitation of space for military and commercial purposes. This must change.
Report Launch Online:
Wednesday 1st July, 7pm
To coincide with the opening of a three-month window for the first space launch from UK soil on 1st July, Space Watch UK is publishing a new report: ‘Waste of Space: The Environmental Cost of Human Activities in Space’
Rocket launches for both military and civil purposes have rapidly increased over recent years as costs have fallen and this is driving a new ‘race for space’. Commercial companies and government sectors are keen to capitalise on the economic and strategic advantages offered by the exploitation of space and the space sector too is undergoing rapid transformation as it moves from being government-led to funded by wealthy entrepreneurs and private companies.
