JUNE - 2021AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM6EditorialSpace is often described as the `Final Frontier,' and mankind's quest for glory in space is unfathomable. While SpaceX may be grabbing all the headlines in the space tech industry, several companies are working behind the scenes to open up an unprecedented level of human access to space. From complex and straightforward robots, air and water purification mechanisms to food production devices and energy generation systems, a host of technologies come together to make life in space possible. Unbeknownst to the general public, many of these innovations were built by emerging startups, not the Fortune aerospace and technology companies that have historically dominated the space industry.Among the thousands of global space companies, the U.S. is home to 5,582 space-focused companies, nearly ten times that of the next country, the U.K., which has 615. As technology continues to grow dynamically, the space manufacturing industry is also evolving and adopting innovative technologies like advanced robotics, 3D printing, and light-based manufacturing. In recent years, automation has been a key factor in the development of the space sector and owing to innovations in the manufacturing process, larger space structures, reusable launch vehicles and space shuttles, and satellite sensors have now become a reality. The massive budgets allocated to the space sector every year indicate that the U.S. government's priority is to remain a leader in space. With over 52 percent of global space-focused companies based in the U.S., space tech solution providers are in abundance. Space missions involve unparalleled levels of risk, and the stakes don't get higher. Under these circumstances, it becomes imperative to identify the best solution providers who are up to the task and deliver on time. In this edition of Aerospace and Defense Review, we bring you the story of some of the most successful space tech solution providers that deliver the best outcomes for their clients. This edition also combines thought leadership articles from subject-matter experts and exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs. We hope this edition will provide you with the right assistance in choosing the best space tech solution providers based on your requirements.Let us know your thoughts!Space Exploration Simplified Through TechnologyJonathan AllredManaging Editorjonathan@aerospacedefensereview.comCopyright © 2021 ValleyMedia Inc., All rights reserved.
