This statement marks their intention towards a step forward in space exploration cooperation between ESA and JAXA, and lays the groundwork for expanded collaboration between the two agencies in advancing science, technology and international partnerships.
Spaceo leads ESA project to deploy inflatable sail for satellite disposal
Thursday, 20 March 2025 11:20
A European initiative spearheaded by Portuguese start-up Spaceo has secured a European Space Agency (ESA) contract to create a novel solution for clearing obsolete satellites and debris from orbit.
The program, called SWIFT (Spacecraft With Inflatable Termination), has received euro 3 million in funding to develop a deployable sail-like structure that acts as a drag device to hasten the d How Altegrio is Redefining AI Development Services

AI is one of the most popular and controversial topics discussed today, not only in tech-focused media. We decided to find out what running an AI development company is like today. To do this, we interviewed Oleg Goncharenko, a man who has been in charge of such a business for almost 15 years. Oleg himself is an entrepreneur with over 25 years of business experience, 15 of them in tech businesse Beyond expectations SKA-Low unveils its first cosmic snapshot
