Description
The LOOP mission, led by Growbotics in collaboration with a consortium, is being developed to demonstrate the viability of a circular economy in space, specifically targeting the refurbishment of a satellite in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO).
By showcasing the commercial case for satellite refurbishment and the potential for a circular in-orbit economy, the LOOP mission represents a crucial stepping stone towards sustainable space operations and away from single-use satellite architectures.
This talk will present the mission, highlighting how refurbishing and upgrading existing satellite infrastructure can unlock new commercial opportunities while promoting circular practices in space. Attendees will gain insights into the innovative approaches being developed to extend the lifespan of satellites, optimize their design for refurbishment, and establish the necessary infrastructure to support these activities.
