Live Panel Webinar – 30 September 2025, 3–4 PM (BST)
As the number of satellites and other objects in orbit grows, the challenge of keeping Earth’s orbits safe and sustainable has never been more urgent. To explore the technologies and legal frameworks shaping the future of orbital sustainability, Reddie & Grose is hosting a live panel webinar, Space Debris and the Drive for Sustainable Orbits, on 30 September 2025 from 3–4 PM (BST).
This session will bring together a distinguished panel of experts from law, industry, and government to discuss the growing risks of orbital debris and the technological innovations aimed at reducing collision threats. The webinar will also touch on the complex balance between commercial opportunity and responsible stewardship of space.
A Panel of Space Leaders
Attendees will hear from four specialists at the forefront of space sustainability:
- Alderman Professor Emma Edhem, the Lord Mayor’s Aldermanic Envoy for Space Technology and Innovation (2023-2024), a barrister and policy advisor bringing a global diplomatic and legal perspective to space innovation.
- Chris Young, Space Sustainability Senior Lead at the UK Space Agency, who works to deliver the UK’s National Space Strategy and develop initiatives that nurture a thriving, safe, and sustainable space ecosystem.
- Dr. Nicholas P. Ross, Founder and CEO of Niparo, a physicist and space law expert whose career spans NASA-funded research, international space policy, and cutting-edge sustainability initiatives.
- Louis Head, Senior Associate at DLA Piper, a leading commercial lawyer with extensive experience advising on regulatory and contractual matters for complex space and defence projects worldwide.
The discussion will be moderated by Daniel Marchant and Ethan Hutchings of Reddie & Grose, both patent specialists with engineering backgrounds who advise clients on protecting innovations in emerging technologies.
Key Themes
While the full panel discussion will cover a wide range of issues, highlights will include:
- The current and projected risks of satellite collisions in key orbital regions.
- Promising technologies for debris mitigation and active removal.
- How innovation and intellectual property can support sustainable space operations and incentivize private sector participation.
