## Notice

Our Fragile Space by Max Alexander is an influential photography-led public outreach project focused on the critical issue of space debris and the sustainability initiatives to prevent it. Displaying these images at the ISAM conference in Belfast will raise awareness of how dependant we are on space, and how protecting space is in everyone's interests. It will help build political impetus in resolving the space debris issue, and inform, influence and affect change with policymakers and industry, as well as raising the UK Space Agency's profile and championing the UKSA's leadership in Space Sustainability in a historically under-served region.
