InSPoC-4 focuses on advanced in-space logistics, paving the way for scalable and sustainable future applications from Earth’s multimodal logistics ecosystems.
ESA’s programme for future space transportation, FLPP, is hosting a virtual Pitch Day to hear from technology providers and space transportation system integrators who submitted ideas on topics including space cargo unitisation, cargo transfer, in-orbit maintenance, and parking orbit management.
What to expect
During the event, you will:
Hear pitches from technology providers and space transportation system integrators
Explore how the proposals connect across in-space transportation value chains, revealing complementary capabilities and potential consortia
Understand the scope and focus areas ahead of the InSPoC-4 ITT, which will launch shortly after the Pitch Day
Express your interest in connecting with other partners in the European SpaceTech community in focused B2B sessions to be held following the event
This is a chance to shape the systems and technologies that will enable efficient cargo transport in orbit and support Europe’s space logistics market.
About
In-Space Proof-of-Concepts, or InSPoC, is an initiative within ESA’s future space transportation ecosystem programme (FLPP). Through a series of open competitions, InSPoC is de-risking space transportation capabilities and foster interoperable interfaces with incremental in-orbit demonstrations.
ESA is enabling the future: an ecosystem with a scalable, modular in-space transportation fleet based on optimised reusable launchers. In such an ecosystem, reusable space-tugs will dock to their payloads in parking orbits, deliver them to their orbital destination, and refill with orbital propellant depots, allowing them to pursue their missions and/or providing transportation support for in-orbit servicing.
