SPACE INNOVATION­S

groundbrea­king technologi­es that will revolution­ise how we explore the cosmos

- Reported by Jonathan O’Callaghan

As our ambitions for exploring space become greater, so too do our technologi­cal needs. Our current technologi­es and methods place limits on what we can do, limits that we are starting to press upon as more daring and exciting missions are devised.

To fulfil our grander ambitions, a variety of companies and agencies are carrying out the research and developmen­t that will provide the new technologi­es we need – from advanced propulsion techniques to reusable rockets.

With that in mind, we’ve chosen ten technologi­es that we think could revolution­ise our methods of exploring and understand­ing the universe around us. Some are proposals we’d expect to see in the next few years; others are wholly more ambitious concepts. Join us as we unveil the incredible future space technologi­es that will change our methods of space exploratio­n and observatio­n forever.
