🚀 Mit der Ausweitung der Wertschöpfung auf das Weltall entsteht ein neuer Wachstumsmarkt für Logistikunternehmen – von Rohstofftransport und Raumstationen bis zu Wartung, Betankung sowie Mond- und Marsmissionen.

🌍 Daran arbeitet das Fraunhofer IML. Gemeinsam mit nationalen wie internationalen Partnern erstellen die Forschenden Konzepte für orbitale Servicecenter, Wartung, Recycling und Versorgungssysteme im All.

🔭Die Weltraumforschung diente bisher dem Wissensgewinn. Inzwischen rückt auch die kommerzielle Nutzung des erdnahen Weltraums in den Fokus. #NewSpaceEconomy steht für den Wandel hin zu wirtschaftlich getriebener Forschung.

🛰️Dabei spielen Kleinsatelliten eine besondere Rolle: Sie sind schnell und kostengünstig produziert und lassen sich dank ihrer geringen Masse relativ günstig in den Orbit bringen. Welche neuen Möglichkeiten sie eröffnen, liest du im Fraunhofer-Magazin: https://s.fhg.de/vm9t

🛰️Warum Space-Technologien jetzt in Serie gehen müssen

🚀 Die #NewSpaceEconomy braucht robuste, digital integrierte, kosteneffiziente und seriell gefertigte Lösungen. Ziel ist es, Satelliten schneller zu entwickeln und in den Orbit zu bringen.

🏭 Daran arbeitet ein Forschungsteam am Fraunhofer EMI um Dr. Stephan Busch. Digitale Teststraßen, Automatisierung und Standardisierung sollen Entwicklung und Produktion deutlich beschleunigen.

Caccia all’oro nell'Eldorado spaziale. L'idea di estrarre risorse dagli asteroidi ha dominato la narrazione della New Space Economy nell'ultimo decennio. Ma tra le presentazioni in PowerPoint delle startup e la dura realtà della fisica spaziale c'è di mezzo un oceano tecnologico ancora da attraversare. Un recente studio internazionale prova a tracciare la rotta, distinguendo...

What Is the US Deorbit Vehicle? - New Space Economy

The International Space Station represents the largest single structure humans have ever assembled in space. For more than two decades, this orbital laboratory has served as a continuous home for astronauts and cosmonauts, a diplomatic bridge between global powers, and a testing ground for the technologies required to venture deeper into the solar system. However, the station operates in a harsh environment. Thermal cycling, radiation, and micrometeoroid impacts degrade its structural integrity over time. The seals are aging, the metal shows signs of fatigue, and the risk of a catastrophic failure increases with each passing year.

What can go wrong on a human mission to Mars? - New Space Economy

The dream of sending humans to Mars is a testament to our species' ambition, a beacon of exploration that pulls our collective gaze toward the heavens. Yet, the journey to the Red Planet is not a simple voyage to a new shore. It is a multi-year gauntlet fraught with such an abundance of interlocking and catastrophic risks that a single, minor oversight in any one of a thousand systems can guarantee mission failure. Success is not defined by a single triumphant landing, but by the continuous, flawless management of potential disasters across every phase of the mission. The story of what can go wrong on a human mission to Mars is a catalogue of technological fragility, environmental hostility, and human fallibility, played out millions of kilometers from home with no possibility of rescue.

New measurements reveal the enormous halos that shroud all galaxies in the universe - New Space Economy

In a study published in Nature Astronomy, scientists reveal the first detailed picture of the gas shroud around a galaxy, extending 100,000 light years out into “empty” space. If our own Milky Way has a similar halo, it is likely already interacting with the halo of our nearest galactic neighbour, Andromeda.
