The Commercial Potential of In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing

In-space manufacturing is revolutionizing the space industry by enabling the production, assembly, and repair of assets directly in orbit. This session will explore how advances in tele-manufacturing and autonomous platforms are reducing the cost and complexity of space operations, paving the way for large-scale commercial production in Low Earth Orbit. Experts will discuss how the integration of remote operations, on-orbit fabrication of components, and innovations in manufacturing infrastructure are creating new possibilities for satellite design and deployment. Key insights will include the role of new space platforms in making these processes economically viable, the potential for producing better materials and products for use on Earth, and how in-space manufacturing is evolving into a profitable business model. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the future of in-space manufacturing and its critical role in shaping the next phase of space commercialization.
