SUMMARY:ESA's In-Space Transportation Club - 5th session
DESCRIPTION:The European Space Agency (ESA) will host the fifth session of its In-Space Transportation Club on 23 June 2026\, bringing together Europe’s growing in-space ecosystem for a morning of strategic updates\, technical collaboration and future planning. \n\n\n\nThe event will take place online from 09:30 – 12:00 CEST and the session will highlight the rapid progress being made across Europe to establish a shared and interoperable framework for in-space activities\, from rendezvous and docking to refilling and orbital logistics. \n\n\n\nAs Europe accelerates efforts to build a sustainable orbital economy\, coordination is intensifying across ESA Directorates and programmes\, the European Commission and its ISOS ecosystem\, as well as the wider SpaceTech industry spanning customers\, operators and service providers. \n\n\n\nDriving Europe’s future in space\n\n\n\nHosted by ESA’s In-Space Proof-of-Concepts (InSPoC) programme\, the In-Space Transportation Club serves as a collaborative platform for the European SpaceTech community to exchange expertise\, align developments and shape the future of in-space infrastructure. \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain: \n\n\n\n\nan overview of Europe’s coordinated approach to In-Space activities through the ISA Working Group\, co-chaired by ESA’s OPS and STS Directorates.\n\n\n\nfirst access to the results of ESA’s Spacecraft Servicing Interfaces Taskforce.\n\n\n\ninsight into the first release of Open Interface Requirements Documents (IRDs) for rendezvous\, docking and refilling interfaces.\n\n\n\nupdates on the implementation roadmap through ESA’s InSPoC and Odyssey programmes.\n\n\n\na preview of the evolution of the In-Space Transportation Club into the broader “In-Space Club\,” expanding its scope across all in-space activities.\n\n\n\n\nAgenda Highlights\n\n\n\nThe Club session agenda will include: \n\n\n\nESA ISAM Working Group introduction \n\n\n\nThe ISAM Working Group is ESA’s cross-directorate initiative designed to strengthen synergies and coordination on In-orbit Services\, Assembly and Manufacturing initiatives. Upcoming milestones\, events and collaboration opportunities will also be presented. \n\n\n\nInteroperability Framework and Roadmap \n\n\n\nESA’s Spacecraft Servicing Interfaces Taskforce will present the interoperability framework\, toolbox and roadmap toward convergence on shared servicing framework and interfaces. \n\n\n\nOpen IRDs for Rendezvous\, Docking and Refilling \n\n\n\nStatus and way ahead for InSPoC-1\, together with the release of open IRDs for the enabling interfaces for Rendezvous\, Docking and Refilling\, promoting modularity and interoperability\, non-proprietary and free of Export Control. \n\n\n\nThe next evolution: The In-Space Club \n\n\n\nThe session will conclude with a first look at the upcoming evolution of the In-Space Transportation Club into the In-Space Club\, reflecting the full scope of Europe’s In-Space activities. \n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\nThe Club session is open to tech providers\, operators\, research organisations\, primes and investors wishing to collaborate on the future of European space transportation. \n\n\n\nAs the European orbital economy continues to evolve\, collaboration and interoperability are emerging as essential foundations for Europe’s long-term competitiveness in space. We look forward to welcoming participants to this new session on 23 June as we continue to build Europe’s in-space ecosystem together. \nSign up for the club session on 23 June \n

SUMMARY:In-Space Transportation Club Session #4
DESCRIPTION:Steer the future of in-space logistics \nJoin ESA’s In-Space Transportation Club for Session #4 on 9 December 2025\, 9:30-13:00 CET. This virtual session will provide updates on CM25 decisions and the full-swing implementation of InSPoC and Odyssey\, focusing on two pillars for Europe’s in-space logistics ecosystem: shared interoperable interfaces for acting in space and deploying in-orbit refilling capabilities for Europe. \nInteroperability for in-space logistics  \nThe session will present the latest outcomes from the In-Space Proof-of-Concepts on rendezvous\, docking and refilling\, including: \n\nInSPoC-1: Status and next steps for releasing MVPs on rendezvous and GNC\, and on docking and refilling interfaces.\nInSPoC-2: Progress on cryogenic refilling\, including work toward standardising cryogenic couplers\nConsolidation: Integration of interoperable interfaces through upcoming workshops and transverse working groups. Open interface control documents (ICDs)\, free of export-control\, will support broad adoption across Europe.\n\nOdyssey\, Europe’s in-orbit refilling service  \nThe second part of the session will introduce Odyssey and launch the Odyssey procurement. Topics include the approach to distributed and centralised orbital propellant depots\, industry pitches from Primes and Tier-1 suppliers contributing to the Preparation Phase\, and the role of Odyssey in enabling a scalable logistics system for Europe across dual-use and exploration missions. \nUpcoming opportunities \nParticipants will receive an overview of next steps across the InSPoC and Odyssey portfolio\, including: \n\nForthcoming procurements to advance cryogenic capabilities (InSPoC-2).\nWork on on-board and shared intelligence (InSPoC-3)\, supporting the next phase of fleet-level autonomy.\nDevelopment of containerised and scalable logistics (InSPoC-4)\, supporting the growth of Europe’s in-space logistics capabilities.\nThe open OSIP Call for Ideas for InSPoC-4\, inviting contributions from organisations in participating Member States.\n\nRegister now \nThe In-Space Transportation Club: A SpaceTech Community\nThe In-Space Transportation Club\, initiated in the frame of ESA’s In-Space Transportation Proof-of-Concepts (InSPoC) initiative\, serves as dynamic professional network in the European SpaceTech community to discuss and develop innovative space transportation technologies. \nThe Club empowers the European SpaceTech community to shape the future of European space transportation by connecting stakeholders and supporting the development of essential in-orbit systems. \nAbout\nIn-Space Proof-of-Concepts\, or InSPoC\, is an initiative within ESA’s future space transportation ecosystem programme (FLPP).

SUMMARY:Odyssey Pitch Day
DESCRIPTION:Details of the event date will be announced soon.  \nThe Odyssey Pitch Day will virtually bring together Europe’s SpaceTech community to shape the future of in-space transportation and in-orbit refilling infrastructure. Held under FLPP’s InSPoC programme\, the event builds on the recent Odyssey Call for Ideas and will gather the community to matchmake primes\, technology providers\, and potential partners as they prepare for the launch of the Odyssey Preparation Phase Invitation to Tender (ITT). \nWhat to expect\nJoin a dynamic virtual gathering of Europe’s space transportation ecosystem\, where key players\, including primes\, technology providers\, and potential partners\, will connect and collaborate ahead of the Odyssey Preparation Phase ITT. \nDuring the event\, you’ll: \n\ndiscover the overarching goals of the Odyssey initiative and its demonstration objectives\, which integrates insights from the Call for Ideas.\nhear 5-minute pitches from organisations that responded to the OSIP call – such as primes\, subcontractors\, and stakeholders\nexplore how the pitches align with different parts of the Odyssey value chains\, helping participants identify complementary roles and potential collaborators for the upcoming ITT\nlearn more about the upcoming Odyssey Preparation Phase ITT\n\nThe Odyssey Pitch Day offers a unique chance to: \n\ntake part in defining Europe’s future in-space transportation infrastructure\nconnect with potential partners across the SpaceTech industry\n\nWho can join\nThe event welcomes professionals from companies across ESA Member States. Registrations will be reviewed to confirm participation.
