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.

Mr. Eric Hauck, head of the Catalan government delegation for Southeast Europe, based in Croatia, received the president of the Adriatic Aerospace Association, Mr. Slobodan Bosanac, for a visit on April 18 on the topic of cooperation in the field of space. The Government of Catalonia launched the New Space Strategy program with the aim of establishing Catalonia as a center for innovation and attracting talent in the space economy. One of the leading projects within the Catalan NewSpace strategy is the installation and operation of a small satellite constellation. To date, three satellites have already been launched, with plans for a constellation of more than eight units by 2026. Furthermore, Catalonia is home to Catalonia SpacePort, located at Lleida-Alguaire Airport, which serves as a key hub for NewSpace activities . Our knowledge and R&D ecosystem in the NewSpace domain revolves around institutions such as the NanoSat Lab at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), the Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya (IEEC), the i2Cat Foundation and the Center Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC ).In the conversation about cooperation, mutual interest in the development of joint projects was expressed, bearing in mind the transfer of technology and science in both directions. Possibilities of involving I and other representatives of the Southeast Europe region were also considered.

Maria Birlem will present #Yuri on September 18, 2024 at #InnoNation in Berlin on the topic of the RACE TO SPACE - opportunities for German industry. It is about the new challenges that must be faced in the global race for space. Sovereign European access to space is of outstanding strategic importance for Germany and Europe and is crucial for the future of many outstanding technologies. https://lnkd.in/e_Y4ri2T #innovation #space #future #BDI

🇵🇱 Polish Space Industry will never be the same. Why? Poland tripled its space funding. In July 2023 we welcomed great news that Poland increased its space funding through ESA contribution by €295MM for 2023 - 2025. It’s critical for Liftero and everyone involved in the Polish space sector. Investing in spacetech is money well spent! This is part of our 2023 review. Follow us for more on the present and future of green propulsion and space logistics. #newspace #spaceindustry #recap #liftero

In 2020, Dragonfly Aerospace launched with a clear mission: to provide decision-makers with precise, easily accessible data. As Bryan Dean, Group CEO and Co-Founder, puts it: “Our goal is to use this technology to improve lives on Earth.” The company specialises in compact, high-performance imaging payloads (the part of the satellite responsible for collecting data or transmitting information), creating expansive imaging networks that offer constant views of Earth in various spectrums. This data provides critical business insights and helps improve lives globally. Based in Stellenbosch, Dragonfly Aerospace also contributes to space exploration, supporting NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration missions and lunar projects. Despite challenges, such as the lack of government-funded space initiatives, Dean believes South African space companies' resilience sets them apart. “The industry would definitely grow more with government projects and grants, which we have received practically zero of for a long time,” Dean notes. “But our resilience is our strength. Without government safety nets, we must be agile and competitive globally.” This agility, Dean adds, distinguishes South African space companies. “We fight hard for every bit of revenue,” he explains. “It has made us tough and agile. We might be one of the only truly commercial space industries in the world because we have no government support. It sounds negative, but it has made us stronger.” For more on Dragonfly’s journey, check out pages 12-13 in the latest edition of Wesgro’s Pioneers Magazine: https://lnkd.in/dfjwuHZF #SpaceTech #CommercialSpace #Innovation
