With the global space economy expanding exponentially over the last few decades, the number of satellites, and space debris, is expected to grow significantly. Considering the increasing quantity and quality of space missions, engineers have acknowledged the need to maintain sustainable space missions by encouraging new techniques of resource re-utilization.
Due to the restrictions on the number of fuel satellites could carry into space, most spacecraft had been built for single-use applications. However, satellite operators have always focused on reusable and refillable technologies for space in-orbit services such as satellite manufacturing and assembly, refueling, inspection, maintenance, and deorbiting.
Although the idea of in-orbit satellite refueling has been around for a while, it took a time before these services became widely available for purchase.
Many businesses and start-ups have recently devised initiatives to create workable and affordable solutions for commercializing satellite services. Numerous specialists and demonstrations have confirmed these services’ dependability and viability, which is anticipated to fuel rapid global expansion for the entire in-orbit servicing industry.
To expand this knowledge, the aerospace and defense research team of BIS Research is conducting a webinar on 26th October 2022, in which the discussion will revolve around in-orbit refueling technology and emerging growth opportunities in the in-orbit refueling industry.

Topic
In-orbit Refueling: In-Space Economy and Emerging Growth Opportunity
Objective: The webinar will be packed with insightful knowledge-sharing and thought leaders’ input on emerging space in-orbit refueling technology and its effect on connected market segments.
The following significant topics will be tackled at the session:
• Key market developments in the in-space economy
• Aspects of the space economy, importance of in-orbit refueling, non-cooperative vs. cooperative missions, and deep space missions vs. Earth orbit missions
• Risks and obstacles, docking systems, refueling ports, situational awareness, and manufacturing standards
Speakers: The notable panelists for this webinar on space in-orbit refueling technology will be:
Daniel Faber– His first business, which he started as a serial entrepreneur, created a special mining instrumentation technology. He then worked on nuclear fusion reactors and broadband communications for Antarctica.
As the CEO of Deep Space Industries, Daniel successfully commercialised the first water-based satellite thruster and altered public conceptions of asteroid mining. He also received funding from venture capitalists and foreign governments. In order to establish a thriving in-space economy where goods and services are produced there for use both there and on Earth, Daniel founded Orbit Fab.
The company makes satellites reusable, enhancing current space business models and opening up new businesses like space tourism, manufacturing, and mining by providing the space propellant supply chain.
