Frequently Asked Questions
Key questions and answers about the Space Integrity Initiative and how organisations can participate.
What is the Space Integrity Initiative?
The Initiative is a global framework designed to strengthen trust, transparency, and responsible practice across the space sector. It brings organisations together to adopt shared standards, integrity indicators, and a common language for communicating performance, mission impact, and sustainability commitments.
Why does the space industry need an integrity framework now?
As commercial activity accelerates, expectations around ethics, safety, data governance, and environmental impact are rising. Without a consistent framework, organisations struggle to benchmark themselves or demonstrate credibility. The Initiative provides clarity, comparability, and a trusted standard the entire sector can align behind.
Who can join the Initiative?
Any organisation operating in, or adjacent to, the space sector is eligible—startups, scale-ups, national agencies, research institutions, service providers, and non-profits. The framework is scalable so both early-stage companies and established actors can meaningfully participate.
What does membership include?
Members gain access to the Integrity Charter, assessment tools, technical guidance, sector benchmarks, and the right to use the Space Integrity Mark. They can also participate in member roundtables, working groups, and joint communications programmes.
What is the Space Integrity Charter?
The Charter outlines the core principles that members commit to: responsible operations, transparent reporting, safety-by-design, fair and inclusive practices, environmental stewardship, and ethical innovation. It serves as the foundation for the full Space Integrity Framework.
How does the Initiative support compliance and improvement?
Members receive a structured roadmap, practical guides, and templates to track improvements over time. The Initiative is not punitive; it is designed as a supportive mechanism that helps organisations mature their governance, sustainability, and operational integrity.
Is the assessment process public?
No. Organisations choose what to disclose and when. The Initiative protects commercially sensitive information and encourages organisations to share their progress when they feel ready. Public declarations are optional but recommended to strengthen trust with stakeholders.
What does the Space Integrity Mark signify?
The Mark signals that an organisation adheres to the Charter principles and actively works to improve its integrity performance. It is not a certification but a commitment-based trust marker, designed to be recognised across investors, customers, regulators, and partners.
How often is the Integrity Framework updated?
The framework is reviewed annually alongside a member consultation cycle. This ensures it remains current with emerging technologies, regulatory shifts, and evolving expectations around sustainable and ethical space activity.
How do we get started?
Organisations can enrol via a simple onboarding process that includes an introductory call, access to the Charter, and initial guidance for completing the baseline assessment. A support team is available to help tailor the process to the organisation’s needs.
