Abstract
Every day, we rely on services from space that impact our lives in ways we often overlook. From communication and navigation to agriculture and finance, satellites play a crucial role in our global economy. However, the current approach to space reflects a single-use and discard mentality, which is unsustainable in the long run.
Astroscale Holdings, a global start-up based with HQs in Japan. Astroscale works on the transition from this throwaway culture to a servicing culture for the long-term safe and sustainable development of space. In this talk, we’ll explore the three pillars of our vision: innovative technologies, advanced business cases, and international policy advocacy; delving into key aspects of robotics and machine learning, essential tools in building the infrastructure for on-orbit services of the future.
Space is not just the final frontier; it’s also our shared responsibility. Together, let’s pave the way for a future where space remains accessible, sustainable, and beneficial for generations to come.
