ENERGIZING ORBITAL MANEUVERABILITY
As spacecraft become more capable and orbital operations more dynamic, energy is becoming a strategic resource. Andrew Rush of Star Catcher explores how shared power infrastructure could deliver additional energy when and where satellites need it.
Removing the biggest bottleneck
As spacecraft demand more powerful computing, radiation remains a major constraint. Yanni Barghouty of Cosmic Shielding explores how advanced shielding could allow commercial electronics to operate more reliably in orbit, enabling more capable and intelligent space systems.
BEYOND LINE OF SIGHT
A sustained lunar economy will require communications that extend beyond individual missions. Elizabeth Kryst of ispace U.S. explores how shared relay infrastructure could provide the connectivity needed to support spacecraft and surface operations across the Moon.
THE REUSABLE SATELLITE
What if a satellite could come home? Brian Taylor of Lux Aeterna explores a new model for spacecraft designed to launch, operate, return, be refurbished or upgraded, and fly again, creating the foundation for a more circular space economy.
TOW TRUCKS OF ORBIT
What happens when a satellite needs a tow? Troy Morris of KMI Space explores how in-space mobility could reposition valuable spacecraft, remove orbital debris, and help build the transportation and logistics network needed for a working space economy.
MANEUVER WITHOUT REGRET
A spacecraft capable of changing the plan has more than mobility. It has options. Kara Grubis of Agile Space Industries explores how flexible propulsion architectures can give missions greater freedom to maneuver and respond as conditions change.
DYNAMIC SPACE
The ability to maneuver depends on more than propulsion. Joe Powelski of CisLunar Industries explores how power processing connects energy to capability, helping spacecraft move, adapt, and respond throughout increasingly dynamic missions.
COMPLETING THE PICTURE
Seeing what is happening on Earth sometimes begins by listening. Patrick Zeitouni of HawkEye 360 explores how space-based RF intelligence can detect, characterize, and geolocate signals, adding another layer to optical imagery, radar, and other sensing systems.
Pre-Positioned Maneuver
What if the infrastructure needed to respond in space were already there? Gravitics is exploring how pre-positioned capabilities could give operators greater flexibility to maneuver, respond, and adapt as conditions change
THE DYNAMIC DOMAIN
Space operations extend far beyond the physical location of a spacecraft. Bryan Hoke of The Aerospace Corporation explores how the physical, electromagnetic, and cognitive domains interact, and why understanding all three is essential to operating, adapting, and sustaining missions in space.
