The space industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, but its environmental impact remains a major challenge. EcoDeltaV, a specialist in space systems’ sustainability issues and life cycle assessment, and Resilio, an expert in environmental assessment for cutting-edge technologies, have announced a strategic partnership to develop innovative solutions aimed at reducing the sector’s ecological footprint.
Why is this partnership groundbreaking?
The space industry generates unique impacts due to high-altitude emissions during launch and re-entry, consumption of scarce resources and manufacturing of space-grade components.
With the exponential increase in missions, it is becoming urgent to take action. This is where EcoDeltaV and Resilio come in.
“Space systems such as launchers (rockets) and satellites have specific environmental impacts that do not exist in other sectors, such as orbital space debris and high-altitude emissions. With the increase in the number of launches of mega-constellations and missions in general, it is crucial to assess them more effectively and to help space companies reduce their overall impact in order to make them more sustainable and resilient. This is why the topic of LCA in the space sector has recently gained prominence. Collaborating with Resilio makes sense to us, as it allows us to combine their strengths in other sectors, such as IT, with our specific expertise in the space sector”
– Mathieu Udriot, co-founder of EcoDeltaV
What are the specific objectives?
This partnership is based on 5 pillars:
- Innovation: development of LCA tools and methodologies tailored to the space sector, incorporating unique parametric databases.
- Collaboration: knowledge sharing and the joint development of solutions for industry stakeholders.
- Use cases: demonstrating concrete benefits through pilot projects, such as the one currently underway with the Canton of Vaud.
- Research & Development: exploring new approaches to amplify the collective impact.
- Visibility: a coordinated presence at key events, such as the ESA’s Clean Space Days 2026.
How will this partnership transform the industry?
- Tailor-made tools for the space sector: EcoDeltaV contributes its assessment and comparison tool (ACT), specially designed for the space sector, whilst Resilio brings its expertise in environmental databases and LCA platforms for advanced technologies.
- → Result: Solutions that are accurate, actionable and aligned with the real challenges faced by space companies.
- A collaborative approach: Both partners invite space organisations, researchers and policy-makers to join this initiative. The aim? To create a sustainable ecosystem where every stakeholder can contribute to reducing environmental impact.
“Thanks to our partnership with EcoDeltaV, we are confident that we are delivering real added value to our clients. EcoDeltaV’s expertise in the space sector, combined with our know-how in creating sustainable ecosystems, reflects the quality for which Switzerland is renowned.”
– Rosendo Mañas Faura, co-founder and head of partnerships at Resilio
What’s next?
EcoDeltaV and Resilio will be attending the ESA Clean Space Days 2026 to present their latest developments. Would you like to find out more or explore opportunities for collaboration.
