FLPP’s recent success in testing docking systems marks a significant advancement in developing technology for an in-space transportation ecosystem. Docking technologies, crucial for connecting two spacecrafts in zero-gravity conditions, were a highlight during the recent InSPoC Club session. The In-Space Transportation Club has been pivotal in connecting the European SpaceTech industry to develop cutting-edge technologies like rendezvous and docking interfaces, essential for future in-space transportation ecosystems. Join the Club to step into the future of space transportation with the European SpaceTech community driving the creation of standardised, modular frameworks and technologies. More about the impactful second session coming soon! To learn more about the groundbreaking technologies developed within the industry, you can watch the test of the docking technologies at this link: https://lnkd.in/dr6rfnAS   #SpaceTransportation #SpaceTechnology #SpaceTech #SpaceInnovation #SpaceIndustry
