(62 a) Transportation of space vessels and their components from earth to space comes at significant operational costs and environmental impact. In order to reduce the number of journeys to space and thereby the emission of greenhouse gas emissions, space vessels should be designed with a view to reusability in space. Furthermore a long term objective should be to enable sustainable energy production in space by using the resources available in space, for example to set up the production of hydrogen that could allow the refuelling of space vessels.
