Barcelona, 17th October 2024 – Sateliot, a leader in satellite-based NB-IoT connectivity, has reaffirmed its commitment to the responsible and sustainable use of space technologies by signing the “Statement for a Responsible Space Sector” during the International Astronautical Congress (IAC). This initiative, spearheaded by the European Space Agency (ESA), emphasizes the long-term sustainability of space projects and the socially and environmentally responsible management of activities within the space sector.
The ‘Statement for a Responsible Space Sector’ is a response to the urgent need for sustainable development on Earth. It ensures that space activities actively contribute to combating climate change and preserving life and resources for future generations. The initiative highlights key principles that establish a framework for cooperation among space stakeholders, concentrating on critical areas such as the decarbonization of the space sector, responsible procurement, and the advancement of green technologies for space systems. Recognizing the fragility of Earth and the finite nature of its resources, the initiative calls on space actors to collaborate in making space activities part of the solution to global environmental challenges. By signing this statement, Sateliot reaffirms its commitment to these objectives, acknowledging the urgency of living within the planet’s ecological limits. The statement also outlines a vision of fair and responsible space governance, emphasizing best practices in space exploration and debris mitigation to ensure that space remains accessible for peaceful and sustainable use.
“We are proud to be part of this collective commitment. While our satellites operate in space, our focus has always been on Earth—leveraging IoT to enhance efficiency and maximize our planet’s limited resources for a more sustainable future. Equally important, space must remain accessible and democratic, a core principle of this initiative,” said Marco Guadalupi, CTO of Sateliot.
Sateliot’s participation in this initiative is a key part of its ongoing mission to enable massive IoT connectivity worldwide while adhering to the highest environmental and social responsibility standards. By seamlessly integrating terrestrial telecom with satellite connectivity, Sateliot is helping to bring IoT solutions to remote and underserved areas, all while ensuring that these advancements are achieved with sustainability at the forefront.
