WE SUPPORT SPACE ASSET OWNERS TO RECOVER THEIR LOST REVENUES FROM FAILED SPACE MISSIONS. We do it with our multiservice-robotic spacecraft equipped with robotic arm manipulated in real time, able to repair, service and refuel other spacecreaft. Space Villages is a Dutch start-up, a part of Space Infrastructure Ventures (a fund intended to promote companies developing deep-tech products). We have a bold and ambitious goal, developing and commercialising LEO as well as servicing customers in MEO and GEO orbits. Our innovative robotic spacecraft (RoWo – Robotic Worker) is designed to supplement the work of the astronauts in orbit. RoWo is designed to revolutionise the space ecosystem and in-orbit operations by enabling complex and precise manipulations, ranging from orbital cargo transportation to the installation and assembly of large-scale structures.

We are extremely grateful for the recognition by Thales Alenia Space #Space #Business #Catalyst and we look forward to innovating together! Thank you Novaspace (Merger of Euroconsult & SpaceTec Partners) for having us at World Space Business Week! Stay tuned for the coming days to see more coverage after the #WSBW event!
On September 16th, during #WSBW24 event, satellite telecommunications operators were asked how they were innovating during their dedicated panel. As for Thales Alenia Space, it has been 10 years since we set up a dedicated organization, the Innovation Cluster, with an external structure officially unveiled last year, the Space Business Catalyst, to explore and emerge new markets and their enablers, for an ambitious and sustainable future, internally as well as with new space players. This includes industrial acceleration in our French and Italian premises and it is in that sense that we sponsored for the second year Finspace competition by Novaspace (Merger of Euroconsult & SpaceTec Partners) in the frame of #WSBW2024. As part of it, we awarded our dedicated Space Business Catalyst prize, aimed at encouraging promising startups, to Space Villages, that will be entitled to join our acceleration program in the next weeks. Their vision inspired us and we look forward to exploring new opportunities with them and other startups to come soon. If you are eager to bring your ambitious vision "from Powerpoint to space", we want to hear from you at: spacebusinesscatalyst@thalesaleniaspace.com!

Factories in Space ◼ Nanosatellites ◼ Space Systems Engineer ◼ Passion for big positive impact & emerging technologies
Space-Based Solar Power is one of the best ideas there is for a huge new economically sustainable space industry and with a great vision to provide 24/7 abundant clean energy to Earth. The market exists now and few space fields compare. It is worth a stronger attempt. Prepared this ecosystem map for my talk "Space Solar Power - Updated Survey of Private Initiatives" at the "International Conference on Energy from Space 2024". The slides and larger version can be found on www.factoriesinspace.com. As conclusion, it is still early days in terms of funding, number of companies and their hardware development. Yes, there are many technical and non-technical challenges, but plenty of ideas for solutions too. Energy from space is largely an engineering problem to get the costs low enough. Many recent studies show it is plausible to achieve competitive electricity prices. It is also easier and more straightforward than fusion. Other energy sources may win in the end, but the energy problem is so large and the market is so large that it is worth a concentrated effort. Numerous tech great on paper have not succeeded in the real-world. It will likely be a mix of energy sources in any case. A new self-sustaining economic driver for spaceflight would change everything too and create a real market for the emerging in-space services. When the economic viability of space solar takes longer or never even happens, the R&D funding will not be a waste. Core technologies like wireless power beaming and robotic construction will have their own commercial applications and be indispensable in the future in-space economy and on Earth. Most people are sceptical about space energy. Similar to the early case with reusable rockets, Starlink and Starship. For space solar power, the market and purpose are stronger. Space will help to solve some of the largest problems on Earth, not take anything away. For example, abundant cheap green energy would make carbon capture, vertical farming and ocean desalination viable everywhere. There is momentum now, but it can be fleeting. ESA SOLARIS and Sanjay Vijendran are still looking for €50 million to complete Phase 1 of the program. Small compared to what has been spent on space fields with overhyped markets or on fusion. Only the UK has contributed so far. Perhaps an opportunity for smaller member states or to become more industry-driven. We do need to build larger demonstrators soon, so when Starship achieves price and launch rate goals, some would be ready to start building the operational power plants. Europe has a chance to take the lead in something new and impactful. Will it?

When we need a hand to fix something, it's easy for us to pick up the phone and get someone to come to our rescue. But how does this work in space? If there's something strange in your space neighborhood, who you gonna call? Until now, it would have been NASA. But this might change with more in-orbit servicing concepts being developed. In-orbit servicing refers to the maintenance, repair, refueling, or upgrading of satellites and spacecraft while they are in space. This can include tasks such as replacing outdated technology, fixing malfunctions, or extending the operational life of the craft. In-orbit servicing is a valuable capability as it can significantly enhance the longevity and performance of space assets, reduce space debris by refurbishing existing satellites instead of launching new ones, and potentially save costs over time. It involves complex operations often requiring robotic systems or human spacewalks, and has been demonstrated successfully in missions such as the Hubble Space Telescope servicing missions. The development of in-orbit servicing technologies is seen as a critical step for future space exploration and commercialization, enabling more sustainable and flexible use of space infrastructure. This video highlights the first Servicing Mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, known as STS-61, from December 2 to December 13, 1993. This essential mission fixed a major flaw in Hubble's primary mirror, which had affected its performance since its 1990 launch. The Space Shuttle Endeavour and its seven-member crew, including astronauts from NASA and the European Space Agency, carried out the mission. During the mission, astronauts fitted the Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR) and the new Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2). COSTAR adjusted the light paths with small mirrors to compensate for the mirror error. WFPC2, equipped with its own corrective optics, replaced the original camera. It was a high-stakes job involving five spacewalks, making it one of the most challenging shuttle missions of its time. With COSTAR and WFPC2 in place, Hubble’s capabilities were fully restored, producing the crisp, detailed images it's known for today. This mission not only redeemed Hubble’s reputation but also proved that servicing missions in space were possible, paving the way for future maintenance and upgrades.
