Act for more sustainable space
A new tool allows for more sustainable spacecraft and rocket design. The Assessment and Comparison Tool (ACT) offers engineers sustainability as a key metric throughout their space mission’s design. The project was funded by the European Space Agency with EPFL Space Center in Switzerland leading a consortium of companies. ACT is now commercialised, maintained and being improved by the project’s spinoff company EcoDeltaV.
