🛰️Commercialising In-Orbit Servicing🛰️ I truly believe that a move away from single use space technology and towards full reusability is paramount if humanity wishes to sustain a presence on the Moon and beyond. That's what makes the development of in-orbit servicing for satellites so crucial! As part of the ESA Green Space Challenge, my teammates and I are working on ways to commercialise the field of In-Orbit Servicing by focusing first on providing life extension services to geostationary satellites to address the problem of fuel depletion. We see this as the perfect stepping stone to build a full on-orbit servicing business on with the goal of complete space technology reusability being the main goal. Special thanks to everyone that agreed to talk to us to give us their valuable insights on this topic. We can't wait to share with you what we've learned and worked on over the course of this challenge!🚀 Feel free to reach out and connect if you find this interesting. Would love to hear the differing opinions on in-orbit servicing.🙌🏾 #SpaceTechnology #OnOrbitServicing #SpaceExploration #Sustainability #Innovation #NewSpaceEra #SpaceDebris #FutureTech

We're taking space innovation to new heights 🚀 The UK Space Agency has just committed £1 million to a pioneering satellite refuelling project from space tech companies Magdrive and Orbit Fab. And what makes it even more exciting? All 3 organisations are part of the Harwell community. This project is a game-changer for the space industry, helping extend the life of satellites and reduce space debris. It’s amazing to see companies based here at Harwell leading the way in making space more sustainable. Exciting times ahead for the space sector, and it’s all happening right here on campus. https://lnkd.in/e8cgy9eN #ukspace #spaceinnovation #sustainability #satelliterefuelling #spacetech #innovation

Space is a strategic domain that shapes national security, technological progress and economic growth. What does it mean for a country or a union of countries to have an independent access to space? Here are two key requirements: 1) they must design, build, and operate their own launch vehicles capable of placing satellites into orbit; 2) they must have a launch site or facility from which they can independently launch their satellites. As space becomes increasingly contested and commercialized, countries without independent access risk being left behind in the new space economy and strategic landscape. #SpaceTechnology #StrategicCapabilities #Innovation #GlobalStrategy

🌍🚀 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲🚀🌍 Plextek is expanding its role in space debris removal through its collaboration with ClearSpace and the UK Space Agency. This partnership supports the CLEAR mission, which aims to enhance space sustainability and safety. With the rapid increase in satellite launches, the need for Active Debris Removal (ADR) is more urgent than ever. Plextek’s advanced radar technology is critical for tracking and capturing space debris, and the next mission phase will focus on removing two defunct objects from Low Earth Orbit (LEO), ensuring a safer space environment. This initiative reflects Plextek’s ongoing commitment to developing innovative solutions that promote long-term space sustainability.

🚀 Capacity crunch for launchers and the places they launch from: 🚀 At #WorldSatelliteBusinessWeek this year, one of the most critical topics of conversation was the increasing strain on global launch capacity. With the largest constellations like Starlink, Kuiper and Eutelsat OneWeb driving current launch demand and taking up the manifest on the biggest launchers, there are plenty of planned future constellations name checking just a few such as the Outernet, Lightspeed and the EU’s IRIS², we’re starting to see a global backlog that will become more constrained as new players enter the space. 🌍 📡 Lofting satellites for connectivity is but one requirement for launchers of various sizes. Observation satellites, constellation servicing, space-based manufacturing and deployment of space tech such as solar power, space data centres, asteroid mining, private space travel, space exploration and research missions… All this space tech will need fast and flexible launch companies and convenient places to launch from. The future of space access relies on innovative solutions, new ground infrastructure, and a re-think about how – and where - we launch. Here at OLM - Orbital Launch Means we’re gearing up to be one of those new infrastructure partners in Europe. 🚀To Space.
