“…Based on the strong heritage from European New Space precursors (the Proba series (6) ), the new generation Small Scale class of Missions share competitive prices for commercialization, with a challenging development schedule, and a shrunk mission lifetime (ESA -Proba Missions), promoting quick results and technology upgrade in lieu of obsolescence.…”

New Space is shifting satellites’ value to the actionable services they can deliver, and their potential for change in our approach to space. An agile mission design enhances data accessibility and innovation, adopting lower budgets and shorter schedules. In this paper we show that New Space entails sustainability for both the upstream and downstream elements of a space mission. We delved into the benefits that such a paradigm shift of space delivers to multi-dimensions of sustainability: economic, socioeconomic, and environmental. We assess how leaner satellite manufacturing allows the acceleration of design, development, and processes. Involving smaller actors and enlarging the horizons to unprecedented jobs deployment. Furthermore, New Space can reduce the environmental footprint of space activities. We demonstrate how Earth Observation (EO) data is transformed into added-value insight, and how it tackles the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Thereby, this article promotes today’s sustainable contribution up to space, thus empowering the next generation to live in a greener future, stemming from space.

“…Another example of recent developments of autonomous on-board decision-making algorithms is Project for On-Board Autonomy (PROBA) [6]. Operational case studies were presented to demonstrate the applicability of the PROBA framework, which combined AI-based techniques, spacecraft flight data information, and discipline models to address spacecraft anomaly root cause analysis, spacecraft prediction behaviour, and discipline model refinement [7].…”
