PESSETO (Plan for European Space Exploration with Sustainable Technologies and Operations) is an initiative aimed at developing and implementing sustainable technologies and operational practices for space exploration within Europe. The goal of PESSETO is to ensure that space missions, whether robotic or human, are conducted in an environmentally responsible and resource-efficient manner. This involves the development of green propulsion systems, the use of renewable energy sources, sustainable life support systems, and the minimization of space debris. PESSETO emphasizes international collaboration, bringing together various European space agencies, research institutions, and industry partners to innovate and share best practices. By prioritizing sustainability, PESSETO seeks to pave the way for long-term human presence and activity in space, ensuring that exploration efforts do not compromise the environmental integrity of space and planetary bodies. Through these efforts, PESSETO aims to position Europe as a leader in sustainable space exploration.
