The ESA Space Debris Office coordinates ESA's research activities in all major debris disciplines, including measurements, modelling, protection, and mitigation, and coordinates such activities with national research efforts with space agencies in Italy (ASI), the United Kingdom (BNSC), France (CNES) and Germany (DLR). Together with ESA, these national agencies form the European Network of Competences on Space Debris (SD NoC).
ESA's Space Debris Office has also been a forerunner in the definition of a European Space Surveillance System.
ESA's Space Debris Office provides operational services in support of planned and ongoing missions within ESA and to third parties.
