NEW STUDY SUPPORTS MORE COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTIONS IN SPACE

In a newly published study titled "Sustainability as a core principle of space and planetary exploration," researchers from the NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Center for Astrophysics and Space Science argue for spaceborne protections from biological contamination in addition to increasing protections against orbital debris, congestion, and operational security. 

These conclusions generally support long-standing positions advocated by The Balance Group.
