You may have heard it more than once: the transformative shift that the space field is undergoing is marked by the emergence of a “new space” economy. The New Space covers several industrial manufacturing fields that continuously attract companies seeking to put communications, observation, lab packages, and potentially mining into space.
To drive this billion-dollar industry, space ventures need to overcome several challenges to place satellites, probes, landers, telescopes or even spacecraft in orbit. At the technological level, Additive Manufacturing has proven its capability to alter the landscape of designing and producing launchers and space systems. But how far can we go with the technology?
What are the industrial catalysts driving AM adoption across key space domains? What are the industry gaps and hurdles that need to be addressed to make space missions a tangible reality?
This is just a short list of questions that the next Additive Talks session ambitions to discuss.
Entitled “New Space & AM: Current Applications driving industrialization & technological challenges”, this virtual panel will take place on Wednesday 21st February 2024 from 03.30 pm to 04.30 pm Central European Time - CET (09.30 am – to 10.30 New York Time, USA).
