The Objective

OHB Digital Connect and its partners OHB Hellas and Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI) have been selected by European Space Agency – ESA to develop ideas for a networked fleet of autonomously operating in-space transportation vehicles. The study is part of ESA’s In-Space Proof-of-Concepts (InSPoC) initiative, which aims to take the orbital economy to the next level by enabling technological developments in the following areas: 💏 In-orbit rendezvous and docking (InSPoC-1) ⛽ In-orbit refilling and propellant management (InSPoC-2) 🧠 On-board and shared intelligence (InSPoC-3) 🏗️ Containerisation and cargo transfer (InSPoC-4) The key technologies we will be working on are: 🔧 On-board autonomy and reconfigurability 🦺 On-board safety and longevity 🐝 Shared intelligence for advanced cooperation
