NSS Goals
- Defending Earth: Protecting humanity from dangerous space objects
- Space Solar Power: The way forward for clean, limitless energy
- Asteroid Resources: The potential mineral wealth of these asteroids is so great that it would allow us to spare the Earth from the environmental destruction of mining while enabling space settlement.
- Orbital Debris: Orbital debris is a term used to describe derelict objects in space, including fragments of spacecraft, discarded equipment, and debris from explosions. This debris can travel at high speeds, causing damage to satellites and spacecraft, and poses a risk to future space exploration and commercial activities.
