The space is going to become an unsafe place to operate. The amount of active and passive space objects (satellites and debris) that are concentrated in some orbits represents a treat. In such a crowded environment, spectrum management becomes more complex and the probability to operate with high level of interference increases. It is becoming more and more clear that actions are needed to make the space more sustainable. Much of the effort is nowadays in reducing the risk associated to the already produced “space junks”. This chapter outlines the need to design future missions through a common sustainability-prone strategy that aim to stop producing further pollution. The chapter describes the proposed strategy and key technologies to enable it
