When it comes to space-based capabilities, how does the U.S. stack up against global adversaries? In a Zero Gravity Summit panel titled “The Space Race: Winning Up There,” Astroscale U.S. President Ron Lopez joined leaders from the aerospace, government and commercial sectors to discuss the ways industry can promote American leadership and support national security in space. During the discussion, Ron highlighted: 🛰️ The impact the United States Space Force has had on the industry since its inception in 2019  🛰️ The agency’s role in driving demand for innovative aerospace technologies  🛰️ The importance of on-orbit servicing in protecting American assets in space #SpaceTech #NationalSecurity

In this weeks Outer-Orbit, we caught up with Pat Mathewson, Head of Business Strategy and Analysis at Astroscale, to explore the role that space technology plays in global markets, as well as the opportunities the UK has to become a key player in the global space economy.

In the GEO world, large software defined digital satellites seem to have been establishing its base, but large, long-life satellites are not always the customers’ choices. Small GEO satellite suppliers seem to be creating their room to be. Eddie Kato (Astroscale) speaks with Stéphane VESVAL (Airbus Defence and Space), Koji Sekine (Mitsubishi Electric) and Phillip van Essen (Astranis Space Technologies) to discuss if GEO satellite manufacturing business can grow once again.

What does it mean for business leaders to “build the plane while they’re flying it?" Astroscale U.S. President Ron Lopez joined leaders from the energy and construction materials industries this week to share insights at the Colorado Business Roundtable (COBRT) View from the Top event. Highlighting the theme of “Innovation in the Face of Uncertainty,” Ron outlined the way Astroscale U.S. works to: 🗺️ Navigate geopolitical risks as a U.S. company  🤖 The role of AI in innovation  🛰️ The importance of scalable and economically viable sustainability solutions in aerospace.

We recently held a workshop focused on machine learning and spacecraft simulators and it was a huge success! 🤖🧠 The five day workshop brought together engineers from across the globe to tackle big topics like building a path toward common GNC and astrodynaic simulation, as well as machine learning pipelines for computer vision. Looking forward to building on these strong foundations for the future of on-orbit servicing technologes! A big thank you to Satellite Applications Catapult for hosting us!

We’re thrilled to share that Arielle Cohen at Astroscale U.S. has been named a 2024 Payload Pioneer honoree! 🌟 The Payload Space Pioneer Awards celebrate 30 rising leaders under 30 in the aerospace industry.

What an amazing week at #IAC2024! We've been busy connecting with the global space community, sharing our vision for a sustainable space future, and demonstrating the impact of our missions. Here are some standout moments: 🌟 Six technical presentations, from advancing the commercial viability of multi-client servicing with ELSA-M to the innovative use of sensors for opportunistic in-space situational awareness. 🎯 Our "Hitting a moving target - ADRAS-J launch targeting to rendezvous with a derelict resident space object" was shortlisted from over 1800+ Interactive Presentations! Such an honor! 🎤 Proud to stand alongside the JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Project Manager for Commercial Removal of Debris Demonstration as we shared the milestones and successes of our ADRAS-J mission. 📺 Lights, camera, action! Featured on The Morning Show with SpaceWatch.Global, where we spread the word on the importance of sustainable space. 🙌 And of course, the best part… meeting YOU at our booth! Your passion, curiosity, and enthusiasm for a sustainable space future is what fuels us. 🌍 See you all in Sydney next year!
