On 19 July, ESA kicked off the development of a new subscription-based space mobility service called Omega. As part of ESA’s Boost! Programme, the work now begins after the initial contract signature in early June with a consortium consisting of the companies Dawn Aerospace, UARX Space and Spherical Systems.
The Omega service would allow customers to buy and integrate ready-to-use smart propulsion systems that can be added to their satellite, backed by a full ‘turnkey’, or ready-to-use, service. Customers would be able to call on the Omega service throughout a satellite’s lifetime, from launch, deployment, and collision avoidance to end-of-life deorbiting.
