From ESA’s mission control in Darmstadt, Germany, spacecraft are flown in Earth orbit; taking the pulse of our unique planet, and across the Solar System; exploring our local environment and looking out to the universe beyond.
It is from here, too, that we keep watch over hazards in space – from solar flares to asteroids to space debris – working to mitigate these risks, keeping us, and the infrastructure we’ve come to rely on, safe.

ESA & UNOOSA talk trash: Directors Josef Aschbacher and Simonetta di Pippo in conversation
In the final episode of the ESA-UNOOSA podcast on space debris, Josef Aschbacher, Director General of the European Space Agency, and Simonetta di Pippo, Director of the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, discuss this topic of global concern.
What are the two leading organisations doing to tackle space debris? What more needs to be done? Is there reason to be hopeful?
