The in-orbit services market is developing rapidly, driven increasingly by rising geopolitical tension. China and Russia have demonstrated satellites that are capable of moving and observing others, thereby prompting the U.S. Space Force to work with vendors such as Astroscale and Orion Space on in-orbit services missions. Blue Origin and SpaceX are also primed to conduct space missions that are aligned with future in-orbit mission requirements for satellite operators.   Opportunities in the in-orbit services market are numerous, but technical and business challenges must be addressed before this market can generate ongoing, sustainable revenue. Our space and satellite experts, Christopher Baugh, Dallas Kasaboski and Dafni Christodoulopoulou, discuss these issues in this episode of the Analysys Mason podcast.

Kobe Earthquake 1995. At 5:46 in the morning, the city was struck by a 6.9 magnitude earthquake, leaving 6,000 casualties and 45,000 others homeless. Nobu Okada was only just out of college when he witnessed this scene of devastation and decided to turn his life towards a path of action and purpose. But what career would he turn to next? Now, we know Nobu as the founder of Astroscale, a company working towards a goal of long term spaceflight safety by targeting space debris in Earth's orbit. His company has received multiple awards, earning the title of TIME100's Most Influential Companies, Forbes JAPAN's “Start-up of the Year” in 2019, and the Grand Prix (pree) for UNESCO's 2020 Innovation Forum. Despite this incredible growth over the past decade, Nobu's path did not always lay outside the stratosphere, as his career began in government finance, IT consulting, and business startups. Before we reach for the stars with today's guest, let's trace his story back to where it began, the innocent days of science magazines and the promise of space camp… Learn more about your ad choices.

We hear about the dangers of space debris all the time – the high velocities with which discarded or disused manmade objects travel around the Earth and the threat that high-speed impacts, even of small debris pieces, pose to satellites. Technologies are currently being developed to mitigate this, including by the company Astroscale. Alex Godfrey, Business Development Manager at Astroscale, talks to us about the technical challenges of debris mitigation, as well as future missions and trends. We also discuss the inherent dual-use nature of these technologies and how debris mitigation can be used for nefarious purposes. The question is whether space security and future sustainability measures are doomed to always be at odds – can we keep space free of debris and sleep soundly at night, knowing that robotic arms are orbiting our satellites?

Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to Podcast for the latest news and insights in the world of space and Astronomy. I'm your host, Anna. Today we'll start with SpaceX's rapid progress at Starbase, where they're making significant advances with their launch towers and preparing for future missions. Then we'll move on to a fascinating new initiative from Japanese company Astroscale, which aims to tackle the growing problem of space junk with an innovative $90 million mission. Next, we'll dive into some exciting research being conducted on the International Space Station by NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. Finally, we'll explore Harvard professor Avi Loeb's intriguing hypothesis about how advanced civilizations might use black holes as a power source. Let's dive in.- **SpaceX's Rapid Progress at Starbase**: SpaceX has done it again. They've stacked launch tower two at orbital launch pad B at Starbase, Texas, in record time. This rapid assembly, completed in just 41 Daily, is an impressive feat of engineering and logistics, setting the stage for their innovative chopstick system designed to catch boosters mid-air. - **Astroscale's $90 Million Space Junk Removal Mission**: Japanese company Astroscale recently secured a $90 million contract to remove a bus-sized rocket stage from orbit. This mission, funded by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), is a significant step forward in space sustainability. Astroscale's project, named ADRAS-J2, aims to tackle the issue of space debris head-on, using advanced robotic technologies to clean up our orbits. The mission involves using a robotic arm to grab the tumbling rocket stage and pull it into Earth's atmosphere, where it will burn up on reentry. - **Exciting Research on the ISS**: NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have been conducting groundbreaking research on the International Space Station (ISS). Their work includes experiments on plant growth in space, fluid physics, and utilizing Astrobee, a set of free-flying robots designed to assist with chores and maintenance. - **Avi Loeb's Black Hole Moon Hypothesis**: Harvard professor Avi Loeb has sparked intriguing discussions with his latest hypothesis, the Black Hole Moon. This groundbreaking idea suggests that advanced civilizations could exploit black holes as potent energy sources, potentially providing a technosignature detectable from Earth. Loeb builds upon Roger Penrose's concept of extracting energy from a rotating black hole's accretion disk and proposes the creation or capture of a small black hole weighing about 100,000 tons. This black hole could emit a massive continuous energy output through Hawking radiation, potentially powering an entire planet and even consuming waste. Detecting such a system could revolutionize our search for extraterrestrial intelligence.For more space news, be sure to visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

In this Better Satellite World podcast series, we ask the question: “What would you do if you had the power to make the world a better place during your career?” Joining SSPI's Lou Zacharilla to answer that question in the fourth episode are 2 members of the “20 Under 35” cohort of 2023: Aysha Alharam, Acting Head of Satellite Design and Development at the Bahrain National Space Science Agency and Laura Cummings, Regulatory Affairs Counsel at Astroscale U.S. Aysha Alharam is the current Acting Head of Satellite Design and Development for the National Space Science Agency (NSSA) of Bahrain. She began her career in 2018 when she was selected as one of the nine first members of the Bahrain Space Team, a position that had over 4,000 other applicants. As the first Bahraini space engineer leading the team, Aysha served as project manager, idea innovator and software developer for the “Aman” payload project, which won the prestigious Payload Hosting Initiative – organized by the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center (MBRSC) in 2022 – out-competing space agencies, companies, universities and research centers from over 100 countries. The Aman payload project showcases Eng, which focuses on securing satellite data through a novel cybersecurity encryption algorithm based on FPGA and parallel processing technology. Aysha personally developed the idea of the AI-based image processing system that will be onboard the first Bahraini satellite, “AlMunther,” the first of its kind in the Middle East region. She completed her education with two Masters degrees, one in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a concentration in space technology from Khalifa University in the UAE and one in Information Technology and Computer Science from the University of Bahrain. Laura Cummings is Regulatory Affairs Counsel for Astroscale U.S., a position in which she is responsible for identifying and helping to create the regulatory framework to authorize In-Orbit Servicing, Assembling and Manufacturing (ISAM) for spacecrafts such as Astroscale's Life Extension In-Orbit (LEXI) missions. These satellite missions require knowledge and expertise in multiple legal frameworks, orbital regimes and technical innovations, with only a handful of precedents that can be considered examples by regulators. In addition to her work on the ISAM regulatory framework, Laura represents Astroscale U.S. in a variety of industry associations, including the Commercial SmallSat Spectrum Management Association (CSSMA) – of which she is President and a Board Member – and the Consortium for the Execution of Rendezvous and Servicing (CONFERS), where she helps the industry to shape policies and communications standards for ISAM missions. Before joining Astroscale U.S., she served as a Regulatory Intern at SES Satellites and a FAA Legal Honors Intern at the Federal Aviation Administration. Laura received her Bachelor of Arts in International Regulations and Affairs, Astronomy from the University of Colorado Boulder, her Doctor of Law in Space Law and International Law from the University of Denver – Sturm College of Law and her Juris Doctor in Space Law from Georgetown University Law Center. While earning her degrees, she held major roles in the Space Law Society at both Georgetown University Law Center, where she served as Vice President and then President, and at Denver University, where she served as Executive Director.

May 6th was going to be the date that Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunni Williams were going to take the Boeing CST 100 Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station for the first time with astronauts on board. Starliner has undergone a rather stormy development period and is several years behind schedule as a result but NASA, Boeing, and United Launch Alliance (ULA) teams after the earlier flight readiness review were confident that the spacecraft was ready for crewed flight. The mission also marked the first time since Leroy Gordon Cooper's Mercury-Atlas 9 on May 15th, 1963, that a human was going to ride to orbit on the “shoulders” of an Atlas launch vehicle. Even the weather for the attempt on May 6th was 95 percent “go.” Unfortunately, the May 6th date was not to be. A cranky valve on board the Second Stage (Centaur Stage) of the ULA Atlas V kept Starliner on the ground. We explore what exactly happened, put the event in context, and gauge public reaction on various social media outlets. We also take a look at a rather explosive claim from a New York-based NASA contractor, ValveTech, about the component in question and debunk the Company's claims. If you live in North America, did you catch the aurora this past weekend? A Class 4 Geomagnetic storm was the cause, the first Class 4 solar storm warning issued by NOAA since 2005. NOAA called a press conference about potential impacts on Friday, May 10th, calling the event “potentially historic.” What were the impacts here on Earth or did it pose issues for the International Space Station? We discuss. The  US Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee approved the FAA Reauthorization Act which extends the period where the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation (AST) would be limited from regulating the safety of commercial human spaceflight, more commonly known as the “learning period.” Also, the FAA announced public meetings to occur next month to get public comments on an Environmental Impact Study on allowing Starship Super Heavy launches from NASA's Launch Complex 39A. All comments should be submitted by one of the methods listed under "ADDRESSES" in the linked document no later than June 24, 2024. We examine both stories. Tokyo's Astroscale announced that it had conducted the first rendezvous with a spent rocket upper stage in Earth Orbit. The idea is to understand how such an object behaves as a prelude to determining how to dispose of such an object properly. We take a brief look at their plans.

The more we learn, the more we realize just how much we don't know. - Andrew Dunkley The resources mentioned in this episode are: · Visit the website phys.org for more information on the topic. · Check out the company Astroscale for their reusable robotic tug called Elsa. · Learn more about the Gaia spacecraft and its ability to measure positions of stars accurately. · Look up J1235 and J927 for more information on the record-breaking stars. · Research more on the topic of space junk and its impact on space travel and the environment. The Number of Active Satellites and the Importance of End-of-Life Strategies In today's space-dominated world, there are approximately 10,000 satellites orbiting the Earth, with about 2,200 of them being classified as defunct. It's crucial that satellites undergo end-of-life strategies to ensure they don't contribute to the growing issue of space debris. While larger satellites can self-destruct, smaller ones and other debris pose a more significant threat. During the episode, Fred and Andrew contextualize the sheer number of active satellites in orbit, which sits at around 7,700. They discuss various proposed solutions for dealing with space debris, such as harpoons and nets, while noting the distinct ability of Astroscale's Elsa to perform multiple missions. The hosts also emphasize the importance of enforcing end-of-life strategies on all satellites today, ensuring that future launches minimize the chance of adding to the space debris dilemma. Potential Solution to Space Junk Space junk has long been a concern for the orbiting and future plan for satellites, and that's why creative and innovative solutions are needed to maintain a safe and efficient space environment for the foreseeable future. One particularly promising approach involves using a ground-based laser that could safely nudge satellites out of orbit, helping to prevent the accumulation of space debris over time. In their conversation, Dunkley and Watson touched on this intriguing technology as a potential solution to space junk. They explore the possibility of using laser technology as a non-destructive means of pushing satellites out of orbit. Additionally, they discuss the importance of inspiring the next generation to pursue careers in science and technology, with programs like Girls in Aviation Day, Einstein First, and Quantum Girls, all aiming to get young people engaged in fields like quantum physics and relativity. Astroscale's Robotic Tug to Deal with Defunct Satellites A Japanese company, Astroscale, is working on a unique and reusable robotic tug named Elsa, designed to alleviate space debris by focusing on defunct satellites. The robotic tug uses a series of rendezvous, retrograde, burn, and repeat patterns as a way of removing dead satellites from orbit. Astroscale has already attracted funding from the UK and European space agencies and has even successfully tested a prototype of their innovative tug. During their discussion, Andrew and Fred delve deeper into how Astroscale's Elsa plans to target around 2,200 defunct satellites in orbit, many of which are still intact and contribute to the growing pollution in Earth's atmosphere. While they acknowledge the importance of end-of-life strategies for satellites and the awareness surrounding space debris, they express some concern regarding the naming conventions of such technologies, such as Elsa and Starlink, playfully wondering if there is some hidden meaning behind them.

Today, we are rejoined by Andres Permuy, now a third-year Physics Major and Math minor at Georgetown University. Currently Andres is studying abroad at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan. He aspires to receive a master's degree in Space Robotics to pursue a career in Orbital Robotics and Automation. Andres' current goal is to work with automation that can be utilized in the space industry for extraterrestrial exploration and satellite maintenance. Andres is gaining experience as a CV & Robotics intern for a company called Astroscale Japan. Back in the United States, he works with the national team at the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space, leads the Georgetown University Space Initiative as the Co-President, and conducts space policy research at the Beyond Earth Institute.

Kobe Earthquake 1995. At 5:46 in the morning, the city was struck by a 6.9 magnitude earthquake, leaving 6,000 casualties and 45,000 others homeless. Nobu Okada was only just out of college when he witnessed this scene of devastation and decided to turn his life towards a path of action and purpose. But what career would he turn to next? Now, we know Nobu as the founder of Astroscale, a company working towards a goal of long term spaceflight safety by targeting space debris in Earth's orbit. His company has received multiple awards, earning the title of TIME100's Most Influential Companies, Forbes JAPAN's “Start-up of the Year” in 2019, and the Grand Prix (pree) for UNESCO's 2020 Innovation Forum. Despite this incredible growth over the past decade, Nobu's path did not always lay outside the stratosphere, as his career began in government finance, IT consulting, and business startups. Before we reach for the stars with today's guest, let's trace his story back to where it began, the innocent days of science magazines and the promise of space camp…

Things are really up in the air for the stock market. And we mean that in the most literal way possible. Morgan Stanley predicts the Space Economy will be worth more than $1 trillion dollars by 2040. Merrill Lynch is even more optimistic, thinking it will reach $2.7 trillion by 2045. Whatever actual number is eventually reveal, the key point is that it will likely involve a "t" in its order of magnitude. The space economy will soon become one of the largest and most important new markets that develops in our lifetime. Once reserved for well-funded government missions, satellites in orbit now enable regional television broadcasting, the GPS used for Smartphone apps, pinpoint imagery used for logistics and government surveillance, and high-speed internet provided for locations. Each of those opportunities will require an entire subsector as well. Launch providers like SpaceX and Rocket Lab will be needed to place the satellites into orbit. Cloud providers like Amazon Web Services and Google will store and compute all of the data they collect. Support providers like Redshift will keep the satellites operational and in good condition. And with the FCC working through a backlog of nearly 40,000 new satellite spectrum applications, the million dollar question becomes how should we invest in the space economy? Three of our 7investing advisors tackled that question in an exclusive conversation. Simon Erickson, Luke Hallard, and Steve Symington together hosted a livestream discussion last month, sharing insights, key themes, and plenty of space-related puns. They first talked about defense contractors, such as how companies like Lockheed Martin were embracing collaborations and partnerships to support complex, billion-dollar government contracts. They then set their sights on launch providers, whose reusable rockets are drivign down costs and carrying larger and more sophisticated payloads for building constellations. They also discussed consolidation, especially as capital costs are increasing in a rising-rate environment and companies are finding ways to spread fixed cost across a larger number of offerings and income streams. Steve then described Virgin Galactic's ambitions for space tourism. Even with its sister company Virgin Orbit recently filing for bankruptcy, Galactic believes space tourism will eventually be an affordable vacation for many potential tourists. Simon then dug into defense applications, primarily in support of the escalation Russia/Ukraine war. He points to Maxar Technologies $6 billion acquisition by a private equity firm as a sign that M&A deals for mission-critical satellite operators will continue in 2023 and 2024. Luke chimed in with a few other 'fun' space applications, such as 3D printing components for satellite repair or asteroid mining for rare minerals. The three concluded the conversation by reaffirming their optimism for the space economy. This will take time and patience to play out, but it will also produce incredible returns for investors. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Alphabet, Amazon, Astroscale, Lockheed Martin, Maxar Technologies, Redwire, Rocket Lab, Virgin Galactic, and Virgin Orbit. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/7investing/message

In response, the US government is setting new space hygiene norms, while private companies are investing in ways to tackle the messy orbital environment. Billions of dollars of assets are at stake, including the orbital devices crucial to navigation and communication used by industries and people globally. 隨著商業衛星進入軌道的數量迅速增加，碰撞和危險垃圾的風險也在上升。為此，美國政府正在設定新的太空衛生標準，而私人公司正在投資於解決混亂的軌道環境的方式。涉及數十億美元的資產，包括全球工業和人們使用的導航和通訊關鍵的軌道設備。 U.S. Space Command recently released a report that includes a section on space debris, urging space players to dispose of their defunct satellites safely and notify other operators if any problems with their spacecraft might pose a debris hazard. The report also aims to steer military norms in orbit to prevent potential space weapon attacks that could generate more debris. 美國太空司令部最近發布了一份報告，其中包括有關太空垃圾的部分，敦促太空玩家安全處理其不再使用的衛星，並通知其他運營商，如果他們的航天器存在可能構成垃圾危害的問題。該報告還旨在引導軌道上的軍事規範，以防止潛在的太空武器攻擊可能產生更多的垃圾。 Astroscale, a Tokyo-based company, is testing a debris removal device called ELSA, designed to latch onto defunct satellites and drag them toward Earth's atmosphere for fiery disposal. The company recently closed a $76 million funding round, which included Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa as an investor. 總部位於東京的Astroscale正在測試一種名為ELSA的垃圾清理裝置，旨在鉤住不再使用的衛星並將它們拖向地球大氣層進行火化處理。該公司最近完成了一輪7600萬美元的融資，其中包括日本億萬富翁前澤友作。 Astroscale is one of several companies developing in-space satellite servicing to extend the lifespan of broken or fuel-spent spacecraft. The mission extension concepts have sprouted a patchwork of other companies looking to build on the momentum. Astroscale是幾家正在開發太空衛星服務以延長損壞或燃料用盡航天器壽命的公司之一。任務擴展概念已經催生了一系列其他公司，希望借此機會發展壯大。 While governments try to tackle international rules, the immediate response to the littering of orbit is coming in large part from the private sector. Industry-specific policies for space behavior similar to the norms proposed by U.S. Space Command are urgently needed before a catastrophic collision occurs that could lead to burdensome regulations. 雖然各國政府試圖解決國際規則問題，但對軌道垃圾的即時響應很大程度上來自私人部門。在發生可能導致繁重法規的災難性碰撞之前，急需制定類似於美國太空司令部提出的針對太空行為的產業特定政策。 Experts say that ensuring a sustainable space domain is essential for the growth of the space economy. Governments and private companies must work together to solve the debris problem and mitigate it to an acceptable level. By doing so, the space domain can grow while keeping the environment sustainable. 專家表示，確保可持續的太空領域對於太空經濟的增長至關重要。政府和私人公司必須攜手解決垃圾問題，並將其降至可接受的水平。這樣做可以實現太空領域的增長，同時保持環境的可持續性。Reference article: https://www.xm.com/tw/research/markets/allNews/reuters/as-space-junk-threat-grows-government-and-investors-seek-solutions-53492700 Powered by Firstory Hosting

This is the very first episode of the On Orbit Podcast's new “Future Space Economy” educational series – designed to educate audiences about the opportunities, challenges, risks, and rewards of expanding economic activity off-world. This webcast series will highlight specific activities in space, ranging from healthcare, research, mining, tourism, and energy. In this debut episode, titled “The Next “Giant Leap” – How Industry, Technology, and People Move Off Earth to Create a New Economy in Space,” On Orbit host Jeffrey Hill is joined by: Dr. Alison Perez, Ventures Investment & Portfolio Manager, Lockheed Martin Ventures; Carolyn Belle, Director, Advanced Systems, Astroscale; Matt O'Connell, Operating Partner, DCVC; and John Moberly Sr. Vice President of Space, SpiderOak to discuss why we should be investing the infrastructure needed to expand the modern economy into space. This includes building new spaceports on Earth, space stations in orbit, and transportation corridors to the moon. To accomplish this goal, the space industry must first convince private industry, policymakers, and the general public that they will benefit from this investment. Why bring the global economy into space? What is the short- and long-term vision for the space economy? How will this be managed? How will interests be protected in space? This webcast is the “101” session to get you started on the long journey toward the answers. On Orbit's Future Space Economy Webcast is generously sponsored by SpiderOak, Sidus Space, and Kepler Communications.
