Overcoming bottlenecks in the ISAM industry: Challenges, Solutions, and the Path Ahead

In-space services, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) are poised to revolutionise the space industry, enabling extended satellite lifespan, on-orbit repairs, and the construction of large-scale infrastructure in space. However, the ISAM sector faces significant bottlenecks, including technological limitations, regulatory hurdles, economic feasibility, and funding.

This panel brings together leading experts to explore challenges hampering the growth of ISAM and the innovative strategies being developed to overcome them. The discussion will be focused on the steps required to unlock the potential of ISAM, from addressing funding gaps and advancing autonomous technologies to fostering global collaboration and regulatory frameworks.
