ECOSAT Overview<br />

– ECOSAT: a pilot experience <strong>in</strong> eco-design applied to<br />

space systems<br />

– The objectives of this project are related to potential<br />

and expected lessons learnt worthwhile for any new<br />

project<br />

– The challenge has been to <strong>in</strong>clude environmental footpr<strong>in</strong>t<br />

assessment at an early stage of <strong>the</strong> design process and to design a<br />

mission encompass<strong>in</strong>g technical solutions that allow:<br />

– Ei<strong>the</strong>r to decrease <strong>the</strong> environmental impact (traditional<br />

eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g / LCA approach)<br />

– Or, even better, to create a waste free process <strong>in</strong> which side<br />

products or waste of a process become <strong>in</strong>put materials for<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r process (C2C approach).<br />

– Eight <strong>CDF</strong> design sessions (31 March – 5 May 2009)<br />
