In this Space Café Clip, we zoom out from technology and look at the big picture: standards, policy, geopolitics, and Europe’s moment in the rapidly evolving world of In-Space Operations and Services (ISOS / ISAM).
In this conversation:
🌍 What ISOS in Europe really means – and how it connects to ISAM globally
🌍 Why CONFERS is the independent international trade association setting the rules of the road
🌍 How voluntary global standards for in-orbit servicing are already being adopted worldwide
🌍 Why this Munich forum was a turning point for Europe outside the US
🌍 How geopolitics and defence are accelerating demand for ISOS capabilities
🌍 Where Europe already leads – and where it must move faster
🌍 How CONFERS supports industry, governments, NATO, and policymakers
🌍 What’s next: interoperability, modular architectures, spectrum, and regulation
With nearly 100 member organizations worldwide, CONFERS has become the global voice for in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing – and Europe is now clearly stepping onto that stage.
From standards to sovereignty, Europe is officially in the ISOS game.
