Clean Space assessed the environmental impacts of several space missions and then, developed a handbook providing guidelines to carrying out LCAs in the space sector.

Following this advancements, a requirement has been placed on the prime contractor of Ariane 6 to perform an LCA of the launcher's exploitation and to compare the results to those of Ariane 5.
