Workshop 4: In-Orbit Servicing and Manufacturing by Satellite Applications Catapult

In this workshop we will discuss the challenges that IOSM (In-Orbit Servicing and Manufacturing) present and moreover the opportunities for Europe and allied nations to exploit, both commercially and industrially. We see many challenges in the development of new technologies and their successful role out including the need for control systems, feedback mechanisms, docking and interoperability between different platforms, the transfer of liquids, gases, power, and data. The need for standardisation is key to success adoption, and it is important that Europe is able to lead the definition of such interfaces else we risk becoming dependent on other approaches which may place member states at a disadvantage in both adoption and deployment.
