\ In continuation of the topic raised in the last article, I decided to conduct a study of the space industry development based on the concept of “new space economy”.
\ ==The new space economy is a global trend based on a number of technological innovations and a certain business model. According to Morgan Stanley, this industry can already be valued at $350 billion and could reach $1 trillion by 2040. This opens up new opportunities for the automotive, tourism, energy, telecommunications, transportation, and other important industries to increase their profitability or improve the structure of work on Earth or in space.==
My research\
The main prerequisites for my research were:\
I have also identified the most promising technologies for the “new space economy” and these are:\ Based on this, I conclude the main trends of advanced development.
Main trends of advanced development for SpaceTech\ So, here they are:
\
\ All this will allow us to create completely new technical systems and production directions, as well as significantly expand the capabilities of existing industries.
Possible directions of development for Space Tech\ Let's consider possible directions of development.
Creation of an infrastructure for access to energy supply anywhere in the solar systemFor this project, all existing energy generation systems will be used, which will complement each other and give impetus to the technological development of autonomous energy supply systems (solar panels, nuclear technologies, energy storage systems). New solutions for wireless energy transmission in a vacuum.
Automated transportation networksThis includes Orbital and space tugs using new types of plasma and ion engines. Development and application of new types of fuels. Automated refueling, repair, and upgrade stations (GateWay's). Dispatching of movement in near-Earth, near-lunar, and outer space using AI on the basis of orbital and space data centers. New chains and principles of logistics in high Earth orbit, near-lunar space, on the Moon and in the Solar System (Separation of transportation services by orbits and Earth-Moon paths).
Long-range communication and navigation networksLaser communication systems and high-precision positioning systems. Positioning stations in space in 3-dimensional coordinate system (space and lunar navigation). Remote control of UAV drones by operators from Earth for complex tasks.
Space industryAutomated stations with customizable production cycle and standardized modules for equipment placement. Incorporating manufacturing facilities into new supply chains. 3D printing of space structures and spacecraft in microgravity using automated drones. Alloys and materials are produced only in microgravity. Technologies for creating self-sustaining ecosystems (waste management, water and air purification, food and medicine production). Cultivation of extremely pure and harmonized crystals.
MiningAutomated geological probes/automated and robotic mining systems. Base station with a power core, data center, and long-distance communication node+robotic drones for mining and primary processing of resources. Typical modules for automated and manned stations in space and on the surface of the Moon will also develop. Then, on the surfaces of satellites and asteroids. Rapid development of all planets and asteroids, with the construction of international settlements.
Space medicineCreation of digital automated diagnostic complexes on the basis of historical datasets on changes in human condition in space, diagnostic techniques, and preventive methods with the application of AI. Development of treatment programs in microgravity conditions. Growing biomaterials in microgravity/bioprinting, operations in microgravity (automated robotic operating complexes, remote control of medical complexes).
Unified network of data collection, storage, and transmission outside the EarthThis includes Orbital data centers, data centers on the Moon, and space stations. Radiation-resistant electronic components. Photonic processors.
ConclusionRecent events show that it is time for mankind to go out into the solar system and master it in full. Even already existing technologies are sufficient for the united expansion of mankind into space. Development of asteroids can significantly improve life on Earth (for example, obtaining platinum at the price of aluminum will revolutionize the entire transportation industry, replacing gasoline and diesel with hydrogen) and increase the size of the economy by thousands of times. Establishing full-fledged settlements on other planets and satellites will expand the range of human habitation. The creation of new materials, the development of medicine and pharmaceutics, and the development of new technologies in space will allow us to go further into other star systems.
