Nice article on how collaboration between ground and space systems further boosts the scientific benefit of #Aeolus, and potential future projects like #EarthCare and #Aeolus2.

"It is not the finite report as an output of the Space Industry Act 2018 Review that we at Skyrora are congratulating, it is rather the change and dynamic in place reflected in it, which will...allow both industry and regulator collectively to leap forward and speed up on our trajectory to greater prosperity, driving and informing skills, to greater scientific driven transformation." -Alan Thompson, #Skyrora Learn more about the the Space Industry Act 2018 Review and its potential to positively transform the #UKSpace sector here: https://lnkd.in/ed_c8bji

❓ What are the trends in space propulsion? How can patent data provide such insights? And why is propulsion an important topic to consider in future space policymaking? 🚀 Our latest 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 by European Patent Office and ESPI, and in collaboration with European Space Agency - ESA, is now live! ➡ Access the key takeaways and full report at: https://lnkd.in/eYHNXfgz

This is what we want to see. Collaborative and growth-oriented partnerships between private firms in Free Nations that blow past international boundaries and help develop #FrontierEnabling technologies. A vibrant in-space industrial economy requires this sort of innovative "I've got peanut butter - you've got jelly - so let's make space happen" solution. #SpaceFund #OrbitFab #ClearSpace #spaceresources #satellite #orbit #space #investing #SpaceRevolution #EarthLightFoundation https://lnkd.in/gXRutJ8F

Last week at #ESTEC during the Space for Inspiration event, organized by the ESA BSGN | Business in Space Growth Network I had the opportunity to share SCM - Space Commerce Matters vision of a market-driven Space Industry. One of the most common misconceptions is that price alone is the main driver for consumer choice, and while it's in the top three, it is the need for more capabilities that is currently the main obstacle to a sustainable LEO economy. At SCM we work hard to close the gap between new terrestrial markets and space-based services, because, without new markets, there is no chance for success for any vehicle and/or platform in Space. Always good to share a panel with clients and friends, who are among the most promising companies to improve activity in LEO.

The space sector is, by nature, highly collaborative, as demonstrated by the International Space Station. For this reason, #Mexico must consolidate itself as a permanent player in this field. https://lnkd.in/d8zPyCPs

Establishment of Earth Observation System under Public Private Partnership (PPP) Greetings from IN-SPACe !!! Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe ) an autonomous single-window nodal agency in the Department of Space (DOS) is promoting, enabling, authorizing and supervising various space activities of Non-Governmental Entities (NGEs) for boosting the space economy of India. In India, space-based Earth Observation (EO) data is predominantly being used by the Government agencies for various flagship programs, infrastructure development projects, mining, mineral exploration, river rejuvenation, timely warning and disaster management, etc. The EO data is also extensively used in a variety of consumer, business and societal services ranging from location-based services, tourism, environmental monitoring, finance, insurance, legal sector, sustainable agricultural practices and marine applications. These services employ numerous innovative value-added services using the data from a combination of optical (multispectral, panchromatic, hyperspectral) and microwave sensors. Currently, these services are using the EO data sourced from ISRO as well as multiple foreign satellites. In order to reduce the foreign dependency for space based EO data and increase the space economy of our country, it is imperative for the Non-Government Entity to indigenously build, operate and own the entire space based EO system comprising of a Space Segment and an associated Ground Segment. NGEs have the opportunity to monetize space data and related services thereby increasing the presence in the global geospatial market and positioning India as a major global data provider. Acknowledging the high capital expenditure to be incurred by the NGE, it is proposed to realise this Project under PPP with financial support from the Government of India. Wherein, the NGEs shall take up the end-to-end management of space based EO system which shall include building satellites and establishing/hiring Ground Segment for both spacecraft control and data download / dissemination.

I’m happy to announce that I’ve been elected the Industry Caucus Chair for COSMIC - The Consortium for Space Mobility and ISAM Capabilities. COSMIC’s mission is enabling the transition of #ISAM to utilization, so that it becomes a routine part of #space architectures and mission lifecycles. The consortium is NASA’s swift and strategic response to the December 2022 National ISAM Implementation Plan and officially kicked-off in the Fall of 2023. There are already nearly 200 member organizations across industry, government, and academia. What do you think our community needs to make ISAM work and overcome the chicken-or-egg problem? In my view, we need to unify our messaging around specific mission use cases and applications. By using case studies, we can illustrate the value proposition and the distinct roles in the value chain. Then, ISAM stakeholders can use these resources to present a cohesive message to acquisitions teams, investors, satellite operators, and policymakers, helping us collectively reach critical mass as an industry. If you’re already a COSMIC member, please remember to join the discussion at our next Industry Caucus meeting August 14. If you’re not already a member, please checkout the COSMIC website and consider becoming a member. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments or DM me. I’m looking forward to collaborating with all of you to drive the future of these critical capabilities! Robert Kalinowsky Joe Anderson Edward Ferguson Joyce Bulson Bo Naasz Lee Wilson

It’s not just about getting to and from space. It’s about building up the infrastructure to enable a sustained presence in space to allow the growth of economic activities in the space domain to benefit all of humanity.
