🇬🇧 On January 24, at the European Space Conference, Rosa Ruiloba (VP Business Development) & Marc Pilorget (Chief of Staff) shared their expertise during the panels titled "Space Data Enabling Applications across Sectors" and "Navigating the Increasing Interlinks between Space and Defence." 🛰 The first session underscored the essential role that policy guidance plays in balancing supply and demand, driving growth and innovation across the entire value chain, from the origin to the end-user. Following this, the second discussion concentrated on the fusion of the space and defense sectors, emphasizing the practical application of Space Domain Awareness capabilities throughout Europe.

🚀 Our white paper is now published! I have attached the white paper here if you would like to have a read. Last night was the Astra Program Showcase, where three teams presented their 2024 white papers. Our white paper, titled 'Strengthening Australia's Critical Space Infrastructure: Strategies for growth and resilience.', directed 8 recommendations to key industry bodies for their consideration, including Australian Space Agency, Australian Space Diversity Alliance, Australian Centre for Space Governance, iLAuNCH Trailblazer, Defence Australia, and the Australian Government. Huge thanks to the Casuarina team and its coordinators Gian Magdaluyo and Georgi Coddington, the opportunity from Astra Program, Australian Youth Aerospace Association (AYAA), team sponsor iLAuNCH Trailblazer, and our Subject Matter Experts: Darin Lovett, Donna Lawler, Phil Allen, Jason Held, and Kerrie Dougherty. Projects like this are great for opening up dialogue, and I do look forward to discussing feedback and continuing the conversation in the near future 🚀 #Australianspaceindustry #Spaceinfrastructure #Defence #Space

Space is becoming more relevant for dual use technology and innovation; opportunities are infinite starting with the new generation of telecommunications!

What’s been a game changer in the #space industry? BlackSky CEO Brian OToole answered this question with 2 key points on the Synergies and Strategies: How the USG and Commercial Marketplace Interact for Mutual Benefit in the Public Interest panel at #SpaceSymposium: 🚀 Accelerated access to space. 🚀 The ability to produce #satellites economically, at scale, reducing the costs for countries looking to stand up their own space program. Brian explained how BlackSky accelerated access to sovereign space capability with our most recent contract with the government of #Indonesia: “This becomes really affordable and fast, allowing them to build capacity with their military and get immediate space-based intelligence capability."

A consortium led by OHB System AG, a subsidiary of the space and technology group OHB SE, has been selected by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space (DG DEFIS) to conduct a study to examine the technological and programmatic framework for the development of a new European Earth-Observation service for government-authorised users, which may include the development of new satellite-based reconnaissance capabilities at European level. “It is a great opportunity for OHB to work closely with the European Commission to define such an important system for Europe. We have a strong network of partners and will also involve companies from the New Space sector in our work, so that all players in the space ecosystem can benefit,” said Marco Fuchs, OHB SE CEO. “We are sure that in the end we will be able to propose a system that is of great value to Europe and all its member states.” “We are very proud that OHB System AG has been awarded the leadership of the consortium for a further important and major study project of the European Union. We will be able to make very good use of our expertise in space-based reconnaissance to set the right course for Europe’s future challenges,” added Chiara Pedersoli, CEO of OHB System AG.
