In this episode we’re kicking off a brand new series of In-Orbit recording on-location in the Catapult’s In-Orbit Servicing and Manufacturing facility, exploring robotics with our panel of experts.
The space economy in the UK is changing at a rapid pace. In-Orbit Servicing and Manufacturing – or IOSM – is set to shape this economy, and robotics will play a key role.
From servicing satellites in-orbit using autonomous robots to manufacturing large structures entirely in space, IOSM is where cutting-edge technology meets the vast expanse of space, but it’s capabilities here on Earth that ensure these in-space operations are successful.
Our host Dallas Campbell is joined by Jeremy Hadall from the Satellite Applications Catapult, Dr. Elie Allouis from Airbus, and Azmat Hossain from Extend Robotics.

Welcome to In-Orbit – the fortnightly podcast exploring how technology from space is empowering a better world.
This podcast is brought to you by the Satellite Applications Catapult, a UK technology and innovation company driving economic growth through the commercialisation of space, and hosted by writer and broadcaster, Dallas Campbell.
The UK has always played a pivotal role in transforming the space sector, but the opportunity for us to become a global leader is now. As a nation, we need to become the world’s best adopters of new space technologies, harness the strength of our industries, and exploit the benefits of being in orbit.
Across this new series, we’ll be in conversation with the expert minds behind these new innovations, exploring the ways that the UK is translating data from space into real-world impact.
Join us on our journey exploring how the UK is using space to make huge differences to our everyday lives, as well as gaining a better understanding of its role in shaping – and sustaining – our planet for the future.

Today, in our series finale, we're venturing once again into the world of small satellites, discussing the latest partnership between the Catapult and Open Cosmos to build and launch a key demonstration satellite to join the Open Cosmos OpenConstellation.
The Open Cosmos OpenConstellation is a global shared satellite infrastructure built to provide diverse, frequent, and reliable data of our changing planet. This new satellite, expected to launch as early as next year, will gather and process Earth observation imagery that can be used to develop solutions to challenges in the Atlantic Ocean, from illegal fishing to ocean pollution.
Our host Dallas Campbell is joined by Gary Cannon from the Satellite Applications Catapult, and from Open Cosmos we have Jordi Barrera Ars and Florian Deconinck.
