  • Space Traffic Management: Solving the Growing Problem of Orbital Debris

    Low Earth orbit is becoming crowded. The same cost reductions that have enabled the commercial space boom discussed throughout this publication have also produced an unintended consequence: a rapidly growing population of satellites and debris that is straining the industry’s ability to track objects, avoid collisions, and ensure the long-term usability of orbital space. Space…

  • In-Space Manufacturing: Why Some Products May Only Be Made in Orbit

    Manufacturing has always been constrained by the physical conditions of Earth: gravity, atmosphere, and the presence of contaminants that limit the purity and structure achievable in materials production. Microgravity and vacuum, freely available in low Earth orbit, remove those constraints entirely. A small but growing group of companies is betting that certain high-value products —…
