The SpaceX IPO is the biggest valuation in history, but the more interesting perspective is about the wider space economy. Launch capability is important, but the challenge is commercialising the systems and services built on top of it.

Fuel sloshing may not be visible, but when liquid propellant moves inside a tank, it creates shifting forces that control models can struggle to predict. SLOSH-CAT represents a significant step toward closing this knowledge gap.

The SpaceX IPO is another sign that the space economy is moving into the commercial mainstream.
The structural shift of this decade is not just reusable rockets. Better access to orbit means a new class of companies can be built entirely around what space infrastructure enables.

UK companies are already capturing this opportunity. Filtronic supports sat comms infrastructure, while AAC Clyde Space and Open Cosmos have flown on SpaceX missions. Space Forge and BioOrbit are also using SpaceX launches to advance in-space manufacturing and pharm research.

As technology advances, we become increasingly reliant on PNT - an essential technology for critical systems across multiple sectors, but how do we ensure that we have the workforce capability to support PNT demands?

Fuel sloshing in microgravity can be mission-critical, influencing spacecraft stability during operations such as docking or servicing. In orbit, liquid propellant can oscillate freely, introducing internal disturbances that complicate control and overall mission assurance.

The SLOSH-CAT project is tackling this challenge head-on, studying how propellant motion interacts with guidance and control systems, the project team are generating data that will enable more robust modelling and smarter algorithms.

As missions become more complex and autonomous, mastering fluid behaviour in microgravity is no longer optional, it is foundational to the safety and reliability of the in-space economy.

It's been another busy #Satuccino - as part of this month's ISAM theme we heard from Orbit Fab, Cranfield University, and ESA on their capabilities, from refuelling to robotic manipulation. Plus, our team showcased the SLOSH-CAT project and our Robotics Test Facility.
