On 19 July, ESA kicked off the development of a new subscription-based space mobility service called Omega. As part of ESA’s Boost! Programme, the work now begins after the initial contract signature in early June with a consortium consisting of the companies Dawn Aerospace, UARX Space and Spherical Systems.
Omega is envisioned to offer a complete subscription service that would encompass everything a customer needs to fly in space, from arranging a launch opportunity to documentation support, the initial deployment of the satellite in space to planning and executing manoeuvres throughout its lifetime.
