B2Space participated in the V Space Engineering Congress held last week in Madrid. Valentin Canales, Co-Founder & Technical Development Director, Julio Verdasco, Head of Sales Europe and Flavia Pérez, Aerospace Engineer, connected with key players in the Spanish Space Industry and gained valuable insights into the future of space exploration. The V Space Engineering Congress aimed to: a. Showcase the spectrum of space engineering activities in Spain, including all aspects of the space economy. b. Generate discussions on the most impactful and current topics in the space sector. c. Connect members of the space community. In line with these objectives, B2Space actively engaged with attendees and presented its innovative launch solutions. During the Congress, Flavia Perez, our aerospace engineer, delivered a well-received presentation, which highlighted B2Space's dedication to innovation and development. #b2space #space #spaceindustry #spaceexploration #innovation #technology #ingeneriaespacial #spaceengineering

The success story of the SSC - Swedish Space Corporation's Vertical Test Stand at the Esrange Space Center, involving collaboration between institutional stakeholders and rising private players such as Isar Aerospace and Rocket Factory Augsburg - RFA is one that should by all means be repeating all across Europe - bucking the trend towards stasis and decline in the European launch sector, these trailblazers show the path towards a more dynamic space sector that sets the pace instead of following it. #iac #iac2024

Important milestone for the SPACE aisbl an its founding members SME4SPACE, ASD-Eurospace, Association of European Space Research Establishments (ESRE), #EASTRO,and EASN - European Aeronautics Science Network On September 10, 2024, the European Commission signed a Memorandum of Understanding with #SPACEaisbl to increase the involvement of the private sector in the programming of #Horizon #Europe as of 2025. Under the co-programmed European Partnership for Globally Competitive Space Systems (“Space Partnership”), €100 million of #EU-funding will be allocated to the topics proposed by the private sector in the domains of 🛰️Satellite communication,🌍 Earth observation and 🚀New space transportation systems. The private partners are expected to contribute an additional €120 million through in-kind support.   SME4SPACE is thrilled to contribute to the success of the space partnership by supporting the space #SME community to identify key research priorities and to increase their competitiveness. With this signature, the #SPACEaisbl established in 2024, will work with the European Commission and the Member States to connect and strengthen European space industry, research institutes and policymakers. https://lnkd.in/e-kpuaC7 #SpacePartnership #HorizonEurope #Innovation #SpaceIndustry #Space

🚀 Space USB is participating in ESA Clean Space Days 2024! We are excited to announce that Space USB partners will be attending the ESA Clean Space Days, from October 8th to 11th, 2024. This four-day event will focus on advancements in eco-design, zero debris, and in-orbit servicing, with a new addition this year: a poster session to further enrich the presentations! ✨ Don't miss the presentation by Côme BERGER, Satellite System Engineer at Thales Alenia Space, who will share our vision and insights from the Space USB project on the topic of sustainable space. Key themes we will discuss include: - The current trend and growing interest in sustainable space, rallying European space stakeholders - Opportunities created by new technologies and concepts, linked to identified use cases (OOS – On Orbit Servicing and ISAM – In-Space Servicing Assembly and Manufacturing) - The critical question of interoperability and system compatibility as technical solutions multiply. You will have the opportunity to meet several of our partners on site: Sener Aerospace & Defence, Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI), Thales Alenia Space, iBOSS 🌍 The future of space is being shaped today, and Space USB is proud to be part of this journey! #SustainableSpace #ESACleanSpace #InOrbitServicing #SpaceTech #Innovation

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝟐-𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐃𝐑 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 🎬 SeRANIS will once again present its maturity level to prominent guests from science, space industry and the #Bundeswehr at the UniCasino of the Universität der Bundeswehr München. A CDR (= Critical Design Review) is a milestone in the design of a satellite mission, where a panel of experts evaluates the mission to determine whether it meets all the specified requirements. Today, project head Andreas Knopp will first give an overview of SeRANIS. This will be followed by a detailed presentation of the progress of all the #spaceexperiments that will soon be sent into orbit. Later, our partner LuxSpace will introduce the Triton-X Heavy satellite platform, which will soon be delivered to UniBw M. 🛰️ We are looking forward to the presentations on the status of our #spacemission and the feedback from the board members. 👏 Follow us for updates and learn more about the SeRANIS experiments at www.seranis.de.   🛰️ -------- SeRANIS -------- 🛰️ SeRANIS (Seamless Radio Access Networks for Internet of Space) is the first and only small satellite mission in the world to provide a publicly accessible multifunctional experimental laboratory in orbit. 🚀 Launch: 2025! dtec.bw is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU Munich Center for Space Communications

Mitsubishi Corporation has joined Starlab Space, a joint venture between Voyager Space and Airbus Defence and Space, which is focused on the development of a commercial space station. The company's Infrastructure, Ship & Aerospace Division COO has expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing its potential to spur innovation in space exploration. The company aims to enhance Starlab’s value by leveraging space research to support product development in various industries and providing Japanese industry access to Starlab’s capabilities. Airbus Defense and Space’s CEO Mike Schoellhorn highlighted Mitsubishi’s strong history in the space industry and its alignment with Starlab’s goals. This collaboration may also aid in securing funding from the Japanese government for Starlab. The establishment of Starlab arose from a collaboration between Voyager and Airbus, with the goal of better penetrating European markets and exploring opportunities following the International Space Station (ISS) era in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA). This development could potentially enable European Space Agency - ESA to continue its presence in low Earth orbit through the utilization of commercial vehicles developed within Europe. Overall, Mitsubishi’s involvement in Starlab enhances the venture’s capabilities and market reach, positioning it as a key player in the future of space exploration and commercialization.
