Mission Spaceset up a satellite-based space weather intelligence system.
Its solution can detect, predict, and gain advanced warning of solar storms and space radiation risks.
Solar storms have the potential to short the circuitry on satellites and disrupt telecommunications infrastructure and power grids.
Indeed, components are one of the biggest costs a SpaceTech startup might encounter.
Neutronstar Systemshas developed a first-of-its-kind electric propulsion thruster aimed at pushing human-space activities further, faster.
For example, through the Horizon 2020 program or external projects.
SpaceTechstartupsare also helping to create safer materials.
