From the European Space Agency’s Vigil mission, pioneering operational space-weather forecasting to protect satellites and infrastructure, to high-resolution spectroscopic tools aboard NASA’s Perseverance rover, this collection highlights the science-grade instruments and data analytics powering today’s space programs.
As the space sector pushes into new territory (orbital servicing, autonomous robotics, and in-situ resource utilization), the need for robust sensing, advanced materials, and agile manufacturing continues to grow. We explore how next-generation sensor systems are being engineered to withstand the harsh realities of space: vacuum, radiation, and extreme temperatures.
You’ll also learn how sustainable, lightweight composites originally developed for aerospace are now enabling more efficient launch platforms and reducing payload costs.
Whether you're a systems engineer, researcher, or business leader working in optics, photonics, or space tech, this eBook offers practical insights into the technologies shaping the decade ahead. Inside, you'll find curated articles, expert perspectives, and industry-relevant analysis on topics like modular orbital robotics, precision spectroscopy on other worlds, and resilient sensor architectures built for hostile environments.
