[:es]Reaching for the sky leaves footprints on the ground. Through its Clean Space Initiative, ESA is pioneering an eco-friendly approach th space activities.On the ground, that means adopting greener industrial materials, processes and technologies.In space, it means preserving Earth's orbital environment as a safe zone, free of debris. Numerous analyses worldwide have shown the need for space debris removal, to contend with the proliferation of space debris. The only way to preserve key orbits for future use is tu shrink the current amount of debris in absolute terms, which will require novel technologies and approaches for the removal of debris and the design of non-debris creating missions.Since 2012, ESA'S Clean Space initiative has been sistematically considering the entire life-cycle of space activities, form the early stages of conceptual design to the mission's end of life - and even beyond, to removal of space debris.Clean Space has three branches, reflecting its mission to assess the environmental impact of Agency programmes as a first step to finding ways to address them in future, and contributing tu a more sustainable and competitive European space industry. These branches are: EcoDesign: designing to address environmental impacts and  foster green technologies CleanSat: designing to reduce the production of space debris eDeorbit: removing a large piece of space debris from orbit This panel session will focus on EcoDesign approaches for the space sector considered under the Clean Space Initiative. [:]
