Although AI has long been used in space systems, its evolving integration across more mission phases and new applications raises the question of whether its growing influence will have the greatest impact on the space community and help maintain U.S. leadership in space.

Will the Direct-to-Device (D2D) market, now the next big thing for the communications sector, fundamentally change the satcom market by expanding connectivity options for customers while bringing significant value to communication providers?

Technological progress in spacecraft life extension, debris removal, space operations autonomy, and robotics will disrupt the traditional paradigm of spacecraft design, acquisition, launch, operations, and maintenance. A new generation of spacecraft designed specifically for In-space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) is leading this charge towards a new space economy.
