太空中的人造物數量不斷增加，使太空垃圾問題日趨嚴重。大量的太空碎片在近地軌道上運行，對衛星、火箭和空間站構成極大威脅。開拓太空可持續發展，可讓全人類在現在與未來都能和平地利用外太空，裨益社會和經濟。這需要國際相互合作、對話和協定，以維護太空環境的安全與穩定。
是次講座系列將涵蓋太空可持續性的各個方面，包括太空垃圾的威脅和創新的清理技術。講者還將討論數據收集和共享在提升太空安全上的重要性，國際監管近地軌道的進程和挑戰，以及提高公眾認知的重要性。

“Space Sustainability” Lecture Series
The increasing number of man-made objects in space is making the problem of space junk more critical. A large number of debris pieces are orbiting in Low Earth Orbit(LEO), posing serious threats to satellites, rockets and space stations. Exploring space sustainability ensures that all humanity can use outer space for peaceful purposes and socioeconomic benefit today and in the future. This requires international cooperation, discussion, and agreements to maintain a safe and secure space environment.
This lecture series will introduce various aspects of space sustainability, including the scale and risks associated with space junk, along with innovative mitigation technologies. Speakers will also address the importance of data collection and sharing in enhancing space safety, the progress and challenges of international regulation in LEO, and the importance of public awareness in promoting space sustainability.
This lecture series is the public programme for the “Space Debris and Sustainability Conference” scheduled for 2 to 4 December 2024 at the Main Campus of The University of Hong Kong.
此活動由香港太空館&香港大學太空研究實驗室主辦。
