COSMIC Members Present During OSC/NIST Space Seminar
On February 13th, NOAA Office of Space Commerce and NIST hosted a seminar entitled Building an In-Space Circular Economy to explore what it will take for domestic leadership to achieve a safe, scalable, and sustainable space ecosystem.
Per their posting:
“By rethinking how resources are extracted, processed, and reused in orbit, a circular space economy can enhance mission longevity and improve the efficiency of various space missions, including space station utilization, in-space manufacturing, satellite servicing, and establishing off-world habitats. This approach supports broader sustainability goals on Earth and addresses urgent challenges like orbital debris and resource scarcity, ensuring a responsible and thriving space industry for future generations.”
COSMIC members who participated include representatives from:
- NASA
- Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)
- Arkisys, Inc.
- Cislunar Industries
- Lunexus Space
- Rogue Space Systems Corporation
- Virtus Solis, Inc.
- University of New Hampshire
