SUMMARY:SECOND SEMINAR ON BUILDING AN IN-SPACE CIRCULAR ECONOMY (NIST)\, Aug 27\, 2025\, DC\, 8:30 am-12:00 pm ET
DESCRIPTION:The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)\, part of the Department of Commerce\, will hold a second seminar on “Building an In-Space Circular Economy” on August 27\, 2025 from 8:30 am-12:00 pm ET at the Department of Commerce Research Library\, 1401 Constitution Ave.\, NW\, Washington\, DC.  (The first was on February 13\, 2025.) \nMore information and a registration link are on the event’s website\, which says: \nKey topics will include commercialization\, investment and financing\, and insurance for on-orbit servicing\, in-situ resource utilization\, advanced robotics for manufacturing and repair\, and space situational awareness.   In addition\, technology-agnostic approaches for developing\, testing\, and deploying applications will be discussed to better understand the future of space-based infrastructure and its interoperability needs.   \nThe objectives are to: \n\nConnect emerging space companies to build relationships between the public This event will be the second seminar in a series of events on building the in-space circular economy.  The seminar will be an opportunity to hear from leading experts\, practitioners\, and representatives from government and academic bodies to learn about the nature of technology applications to grow the in-space circular economy.  and private sectors;\nExplore the role of government in fostering commercialization and the future of space-based infrastructure; and\nBuild an understanding of the in-space circular economy and the opportunities and challenges in commercialization\, investment\, standards and SSA.  \n\nKey Takeaways \nSession topics cover a range of issues on how businesses\, academia\, and technology can increase access and build the in-space circular economy\, including: \n\nfoundational technologies to support on-orbit efforts such as servicing with robotics\, manufacturing techniques and fabrication\, and in-situ resource use or recycling of materials;\ntools for material management and in-space utilization\, such as utilizing resources found in space\, like lunar regolith or asteroid materials for construction;\nimprovements in the efficiency and effectiveness of orbit access with new materials or fuels;\nencouragement and support for public-private partnerships to support collaborative efforts internationally; and\ntactics for finance and investment strategies to support current efforts and enable new ones.\n\nWho should attend?  \nThis seminar supports commercial space professionals\, government agencies\,  academicians\, policy experts\, and space engineering and technology solution providers involved in developing new capabilities\, platforms\, and procedures for building an in-space circular economy and transforming the on-orbit industrial base. In addition\, this seminar would be of interest to terrestrial organizations on both the supply side (biopharma\, semiconductor\, and advanced materials) or demand side (buyers in these domains) for materials that will be manufactured in space.
