D-ORBIT SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES


Stop the systematic increase of concentration of uncontrolled objects in space while adding a fourth dimension to the common notion of sustainability:

Earth, Air, Sea and Space.

D-ORBIT BYLAWS


Lo spazio è una nuova risorsa naturale non-infinita a cui la nostra società ha accesso, che offre enormi possibilità di ricerca scientifica, profitto commerciale ed espansione del genere umano. D-Orbit incamera nelle proprie attività di progettazione, produzione e commercializzazione chiari Principi di Sostenibilità al fine di fornire con profitto soluzioni, prodotti e servizi per rendere l’utilizzo dello spazio a scopi scientifici e commerciali sicuro, profittevole e durevole. D-Orbit è attivamente impegnata per garantire le seguenti condizioni di sistema, incorporate nella propria "Vision": In una società sostenibile, la natura non è soggetta a sistematicamente crescenti: 1. 1. concentrazione di oggetti prodotti dall’uomo nello spazio; 2. 2. concentrazioni di sostanze estratte dalla crosta terrestre; 3. 3. concentrazioni di sostanze prodotte dalla società; 4. 4. degradazione per mezzi fisici; e le persone non sono soggette a condizioni che sistematicamente

1. 5. compromettono la loro capacità di soddisfare i propri bisogni.

HOW WE GO THERE

35

THE LABYRINTH WALLS

• CREDIBILITY an ant in a world of giants

• FIRST MOVER ”early adopters wanted”

• NEW SPACE unknown territory for the most

• LACK OF INVESTMENTS software is easier… is it?

• PROFITABILITY to move to the next step

36

OUR STRATEGIC APPROACH

• NICHE MARKET start away from the giants

• MARKET DRIVEN strong approach: learn what it is needed

• EXPERTISE GROWTH get to the talents bring them onboard

• EXISTING TECHNOLOGY low technology risk

• MOVE FORWARD towards the Vision

• TIME IS OF ESSENCE space market is accelerating

USE THE ALGORITHM!

RIGHT DIRECTION?

OPEN PLATFORM?

SHORT TERM

BENEFIT?

GO!

BEFORE D-ORBIT

• No dedicated spacecraft subsystem

• Difficult to estimate the end-of-life

• Long and complex decommissioning manoeuvers

• R e v e n u e l o s s d u e t o f u e l u s e f o r

decommissioning

• Mainly market need

• No environmental or social impact perception

• Low satellite industry growth


TODAY

• Modular and scalable independent

decommissioning

• No need to estimate the end-of-life

• Satellite out in few hours

• Use fuel to the last drop: maximize revenues

• Regulated market

• High environmental impact and social awareness

• Exponential satellite industry growth

WORLDWIDE SPACE DEBRIS REGULATIONS

INTERNATIONALUN COPUOS, IADC, ISO 24113 Limit the long-term presence of spacecraft and launch vehicle in orbit after the end of their mission; Mandatory post-mission disposal maneuver is required.

LEO GEO MEO LAUNCHERS

EUROPE

French Law, ESA Baseline: controlled atmoshperic reentry (causualty risk <2 10-5). If compliance is impossible (duly justified) reentry within 25 years with casualty risk < 10-4. ‘Best effort’ principle.

French Law, ESA, ITU Mandatory disposal maneuver in graveyard orbit. Required success rate 90%.

French Law, IADC, ITU, ESA Mandatory disposal maneuver in graveyard orbit. Generation of debris not allowed.

French Law, ESA Baseline: controlled atmoshperic reentry. Limit the presence in operational orbit to 1 year. Mandatory disposal maneuver. ‘Best effort’ principle.

UNITED STATES

NASA, NOAA, FAA, DOD Compliance with ISO 24113. Reentry in 25 years AND casualty probability < 10-4.

NASA, FCC, FAA, ITU Mandatory disposal plan and maneuver for obtaining licensing.
