Space to Solve Climate Change

How can we rapidly accelerate the utilization of space resources and in-space manufacturing to address climate change?


Climate change is a global issue that will require innovative solutions. One potential avenue for addressing this challenge is by leveraging space resources, which offer unique opportunities for monitoring, mitigating, and adapting to the impacts of climate change on Earth.

The goal of this project is to conduct research to evaluate the availability of resources in space and conduct a rigorous ideation process to develop new ideas for addressing climate change on earth. The outcome of that ideation process will be a set of concepts which can be down-selected to identify the best solution for the team to pursue over the course of the project.
