Luxembourg, March 25, 2025 — OQ Technology, Europe’s leading provider of satellite mobile communication solutions, has signed the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Zero Debris Charter, reinforcing its dedication to responsible and sustainable space technology. This commitment contributes to a cleaner orbital environment, ensuring the long-term viability of satellite communications and space innovation.

“We are proud to sign the Zero Debris Charter, reinforcing our commitment to responsible and sustainable satellite space technology,” said Omar Qaise, Founder & CEO of OQ Technology. “By aligning with this initiative, we aim to contribute to a cleaner orbital environment, ensuring the long-term benefits of satellite communications and space innovation. At OQ Technology, we believe sustainability and innovation must go hand in hand to safeguard the future of the space industry.”

The Zero Debris Charter, launched by the European Space Agency, is a global initiative designed to promote best practices in space operations to minimize the creation of space debris. Signatories pledge to implement measures such as designing satellites for end-of-life disposal and avoiding actions that could generate long-lived debris. With space debris posing an increasing threat to operational satellites and future missions, this collaborative effort is vital to preserving the space environment for generations to come.

OQ Technology is a pioneer in delivering innovative satellite communication solutions, focusing on expanding connectivity via 5G NTN technology. By signing the Zero Debris Charter, the company is embedding sustainable practices into its operations, aligning its cutting-edge technology with the urgent need to address space debris.

“As we continue to advance our satellite technologies, we remain dedicated to ensuring that our activities support a sustainable future for space,” added Omar Qaise. “We look forward to collaborating with industry partners and regulatory bodies to further the goals of the Zero Debris Charter.”
