Mission Statement
The Beyond Our Earth mission will drive a thriving, equitable and sustainable in-space economy, helping to solve grand challenges on Earth by 2030.
WHY 'BEYOND OUR EARTH'?
The Beyond Earth mission seeks to harness space technology and leverage the opportunities presented by space to tackle the challenges of today and unlock the potential of tomorrow.
Building on existing space technologies – in-orbit logistics, assembly and manufacturing will be an integral part of the new space economy and will be driven by advances in robotics and AI.
The assembly of large structures in space, refuelling, manufacturing, servicing and debris removal are all crucial to both the next phase of growth for the space industry, and our ability to solve grand challenges on Earth.

We will help cultivate a healthier, more content, and productive global populace, fostering societal and economic development, shaping a fair, thriving and harmonious world where humanity prospers and collaboratively confronts future challenges, while nurturing the environment.
