UK Space Agency awards OrbiSky contract to define verification for in-orbit manufacturing payloads
OrbiSky has been awarded a contract by the UK Space Agency to deliver SkyYield, a study defining an end-to-end payload concept for manufacturing ZBLAN optical fibre in Low Earth Orbit. The work focuses on the verification and process control evidence needed to help in-orbit manufacturing progress from one-off demonstrations to repeatable operations that customers can assess and accept. SkyYield will set out how an in-orbit manufacturing payload could monitor key process variables, maintain contr
