Europe's aerospace clusters are as diverse as the regions they call home, let's get to know them - today we are looking at AVIASPACE Bremen e.V.🚀✨ Close to the German border of the North Sea, Aviaspace Bremen has been influencing the aerospace sector since its initiation in 2005. The aeronautics and space cluster consists of over 140 companies, 30 research institutes, 14 government agencies, and 14 public authorities fostering a collaborative environment that spans across light-weight construction, highlift systems, RPAS, satellites and more. Working together with the Federal State of Bremen to implement its aeronautics and space industries sector strategy, the cluster is at the forefront in areas such as materials science, highlift systems, engineering and manufacturing technology. With major industry players like Airbus Group, ArianeGroup, and OHB, and key research institutes such as BIAS, DLR, and ZARM, the cluster is working as a driving force in innovation and technology transfer. Aviaspace Bremen's commitment extends beyond its borders, participating in international events such as the International Astronautical Congress, Space Tech Expo Europe, and ILA Berlin. Through networking, cooperative improvement, and innovative project development, the cluster contributes significantly to strengthening international synergies.

🚀 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

🚀 Exciting progress in European space technology! We recently held a productive workshop as part of our ongoing European space project, bringing together the Space USB consortium and our Advisory Board. The focus of this second session was twofold: 🔧 Finalizing the specifications for a universal, serial connector (similar to USB) capable of mechanically connecting two space elements and enabling data and power transfer once assembled in orbit. 💡 Debating the demonstration of prototypes in a laboratory environment. These prototypes will play a crucial role in advancing On-Orbit Servicing and assembly technologies. This marks a major step for our project milestones and towards enabling future space missions with modular, easily assembled components. We're excited about the collaborative effort driving this innovation forward! Thanks to our esteemed partners for their involvement and participation : Thales Alenia Space, Sener Aerospace & Defence, Space Applications Services NV/SA , iBOSS, Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI), In Extenso Innovation Croissance , SpaceLocker, Airbus Defence and Space, European Space Agency - ESA, OHB SE, German Aerospace Center (DLR). Stay tuned for more updates on this game-changing technology. 🌟 #SpaceTechnology #EuropeanInnovation #OnOrbitServicing #SpaceUSB #InnovationInSpace #HorizonEurope
