“ISAM is one of the key enabling capabilities we must have in order to be able to continue doing what we want to do in space” 💫 At our In-Orbit Servicing Summit, @spacegovuk Director Rebecca Evernden highlighted how ISAM tech and Astroscale are giving the UK a real edge in space. Her remarks came after a day of workshops on how the UK can keep its lead - by building a strong mission pipeline and collaborating with government to secure our place in space.

Yesterday we brought government, industry, academia and international partners together in London for the RPO Summit: a half-day workshop on how the UK scales rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) from a demonstrated capability into a repeatable pipeline of civil, defence and international missions. 🛰️ The themes were consistent: the UK has an early lead in RPO, the new UK Space Strategy recognises it, and turning that lead into lasting industrial advantage needs clear government requirements, faster standards, timely regulation and sustained investment beyond 2030. As @NickShave12, our MD, put it in the opening: “You can’t launch a word. Resilience needs capability. It needs capacity, and it needs heritage in orbit.

We have achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification as we prepare to deliver a new generation of missions! 🛰️ This international information security framework supports our wider goal to turn the UK’s lead in in-orbit servicing into a repeatable pipeline of missions. astroscale.com/en/news/astro…

It was a privilege to meet the UK Prime Minister, @andyburnham, and NATO Secretary General, @SecGenNATO, to discuss the role of RPO capabilities in supporting security and resilience in space. 🛰️ Through our participation in the UK NATO Industry Forum and support for the NATO Industry Advisory Group, we look forward to helping advance shared UK and @NATO ambitions in strengthening space security. nato.int/en/news-and-events/… 📸 Credit: NATO

We were proud to join partners from across the UK space and defence community for the opening of the UK Space & Defence Gateway at Harwell by His Majesty King Charles III. Located next to our facility, the Gateway will strengthen collaboration across government, industry and academia, helping advance UK space defence capabilities and resilience. 💫 @TheSMI | @HarwellCampus | @spacegovuk | @UKSpaceCmd | @UKspace | @RAL_Space_STFC | @Open_Cosmos | @dstlmod

Our UK Deputy Managing Director and Head of Government Affairs was invited to @10DowningStreet during the visit of the Prime Minister of Japan, Sanae Takaichi. 🇯🇵 The event focused on the UK-Japan Frontier Technology Partnership and the UK-Japan Joint Declaration on Economic Security Cooperation, highlighting the strategic collaboration we continue to support in advancing shared priorities in space sustainability, protection, and commercial development.

ELSA-M continues its EV tests! 🛰️ Vibration testing was up next at @AirbusSpace in Stevenage, putting the spacecraft through launch simulations. Find out more about ELSA-M's UK Environmental Test Campaign: astroscale.com/en/news/elsa-…
