Space and non-Space converge at Munich New Space Summit 🚀 ⛰️ This year`s Munich New Space Summit was once again a successful opportunity for important conversations and collaborations for representatives from governments, private companies and individuals to redefine the space economy 🏆. In different panel discussions, top experts from industry, academia, policymaking, and program making gave insight into challenges and potentials of the space sector 🚀. Exploring the convergence of space and non-space industries, Prof. Andreas Knopp from #SeRANIS and Chair of Signal Processing at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich, confidently moderated as well as took part as panelist about secure connectivity solutions. For Teodora Secara, ESA, and Luigi Scatteia, PwC France, space should be an enabler for other industries, since seamless integration serves as a key to reach other sectors. For Oliver Wick, space is inspiring for integration in future architecture. Following Clemens Kaiser, RIVADA, space can provide a solution to secure connectivity, though for Dr. Eva Schmid, mainstream industry has little awareness of (the real vulnerability of) space 💡. Andreas points out, once industry is aware of the importance of space, the capacity won`t be enough to satisfy all needs and e.g. to link up all cars 🚘 🚗 anymore ... His summary, that there is still a long way to go 🌌 “to get other industries into the team” and get space into daily life, met with great approval of the other panelists. #Spacesummit #Secureconnectivity #NewSpaceeconosphere #UniBwM #Satellitemission #Innovation 🛰️ -------- 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: 2026! dtec.bw is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU  

The rising democratisation of space has led to a new era of collaboration of countries keen to pool resources and expand the frontiers of space. Aside from #spaceforsustainability #spaceforsecurity and space tech to drive the global #smartnation agenda, the profound impact that space has on the global innovation agenda is undeniable. Chaired by Office for Space Technology & Industry, Singapore (OSTIn), leading space agencies across Europe, the Middle East and Asia converged at #GSTC2024 for a panel to explore how collaboration in the areas of data, resources and knowledge can help younger space-facing nations better leverage space for innovation. #GSTCxSSTL #SgSpace #SSTL #Singapore #SG_Space #Space #Technology #Innovation #GSTC

The History of Space AISBL and the Partnership 🚀 As we continue to build our presence on LinkedIn, we want to take a moment to reflect on the history of Space AISBL and the exciting partnership we've formed to boost the competitiveness of the space sector. Since our founding by five associations - ASD-Eurospace, SME4SPACE, Association of European Space Research Establishments (ESRE), EASTRO, and EASN - European Aeronautics Science Network we have been dedicated to creating a unified voice for the upstream space community. Our mission took a significant step forward with the establishment of the “Digitalisation for Commercial Space Solutions” Partnership, which began its activities in June 2023. What is this Partnership about? The Partnership aims to enhance competitiveness in three key areas: 1. Commercial Earth Observation Solutions 2. Commercial Telecommunications Solutions 3. New Space Transportation Solutions Our focus spans both space and ground segments, ensuring a holistic approach to these technology areas. Do you want to learn more about what happened already, for example or the 2025 calls? Read here: https://lnkd.in/eMq5g9Ud As we work towards the 2026, and 2027 calls, we are now initiating consultations to gather insights from European Space entities. Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of these initiatives! Get Involved now!  We invite you to participate in our upcoming workshops, where you can share your views and contribute to the discussions: November 14th, 9:00 – 13:00: New Space Transportation Solutions (including Ground Segment) November 15th, 10:00 – 17:00: Commercial EO/Satcom Solutions (including Ground Segment) Registration is free!
