EPIC Meeting on New Space at European Space Agency
NewSpace Additional Challenges
NewSpace is an approach that focuses on lowering the barriers to entry to space industry, by providing cheaper access to space… One of the major characteristics of the NewSpace era is the fundamental shift from an industry which was heavily dependent on government agencies to a more agile and an independent private sector that relies on innovation, working with much smaller budgets than the early space industry.
Additionally when photonics is involved, everything depends of point of view…
