This webinar will bring together academia and industry to explore some of the latest research on emerging technologies for space, with a focus on both solar energy and in-orbit fabrication.
We will begin with an introduction to the opportunities and challenges of in-space manufacturing, followed by panel sessions on solar energy and in-orbit fabrication and robotic assembly. The panel sessions will include keynote speakers, panellist introductions, and the opportunity for you to get involved in the discussion.
This is an ideal opportunity for those working in industry to discover the latest ideas and to discuss how they can be developed into commercial collaborations in order to support UK space sector growth, and to give your thoughts on what might come next from this research.
