ReOrbit Signs the Zero Debris Charter

Darmstadt, Germany — 10 June 2025
ReOrbit, a leading provider of software-defined satellites for sovereign communications, has officially signed the Zero Debris Charter, joining a growing global coalition of space actors committed to ensuring a sustainable and safe orbital environment. The signing took place during ESA’s Zero Debris Week at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt.

“I am proud to sign the Charter on behalf of ReOrbit. I have been a strong advocate for space sustainability for many years and am actively supporting technical initiatives in this field. I am pleased to see ReOrbit taking part in this charter that will help create a safer orbital environment for future generations,” said John Auburn, Chief Strategy & Commercial Officer at ReOrbit, who signed the Charter on behalf of the company.
As a signatory, ReOrbit supports ESA’s ambition to position Europe as a global leader in sustainable space operations. The company recognises the importance of collective responsibility in shaping a regulatory, operational, and technological environment that limits debris creation and supports a resilient space economy.
“ReOrbit fully endorses the Charter’s community-led and technology-neutral approach. While ambitious, the targets set by the Charter are designed to be adaptable, collaborative, and forward-looking – values that closely align with those of ReOrbit,” said Sethu Saveda Suvanam, Founder and CEO of ReOrbit.
Suvanam further emphasised the company's commitment:
“Signing the Zero Debris Charter reflects our strong belief in a cooperative and sustainable future in space. At ReOrbit, we are not only committed to advancing industry best practices through our novel technologies, but also to enabling scalable, safe and secure space networks. We are proud to contribute to building a more connected and sustainable orbital ecosystem”
About Zero Debris Charter
The Zero Debris Charter, developed collaboratively by over 100 stakeholders and facilitated by ESA’s Protection of Space Assets Accelerator, outlines principles and measurable targets aimed at mitigating the creation of new space debris. These include minimising the risk of in-orbit collisions, improving post-mission disposal rates, and enhancing space traffic coordination.
About ReOrbit
ReOrbit contributes to these goals through its commitment to developing and utilising novel technologies that ensure safe operations in both low Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary Earth orbit (GEO). By becoming part of this global community addressing the critical challenge of space debris, we will work together to contribute to, and follow, the guiding principles.
ReOrbit builds software-enabled satellites for secure communications. Being at the intersection of New and Old Space, ReOrbit enables space applications where efficiency, sustainability and security are critical.
ReOrbit works with the most prominent entities within security, satcom and Earth observation. Our technology is supported by Business Finland, the European Space Agency and the European Commission. Founded in 2019, ReOrbit is headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, with a subsidiary in Argentina.
