Organised by the British Interplanetary Society, Reinventing Space is a conference and exhibition dedicated to advancing humanity’s future capabilities in space and highlights the trends that will define space enterprise a decade from now. Each year, the conference brings together a network of innovators from industry, agency, government, financiers, academia and end users to present and discuss the key challenges and opportunities for future space leadership and growth.
The theme of this year’s conference is ‘The Evolving Architecture of NewSpace’ and will focus on the key benefits and emerging issues presented by the increasing use of space in the coming decades:
As the number of active satellites in Earth orbit increases, the opportunities for interaction between different constellations are enhanced. Intersatellite links and roaming technologies should deliver improvements in a range of performance metrics, including satellite-to-satellite cueing, data fusion, data latency, and overall system capacity.
- Will new, cheaper launch vehicles and on-orbit servicing add to the pressure?
- Will the huge number of satellites increase the risk of collisions and further restrict astronomical observations?
- Can NewSpace companies provide the answers?
Talks will be on satellite technologies, orbital configurations and architectural approaches that will exploit these opportunities and address these concerns over the next two decades. The programme will also incorporate our Beyond The Moon Symposium on the third and final day of the conference, which looks towards the longer-term possibilities and critical challenges for the future development and exploration of cis-lunar space, and beyond.

Organised by the BIS NextGen Network in partnership with UKSEDS and SpaceCareers.UK, the NextGen Space Careers Day offers a prime opportunity to engage with the space community and gain insights and valuable guidance on building a successful career within the UK space sector! Attendees will gather for short talks by selected speakers and mentors, including a panel on careers advice and speed mentoring on career development in the space sector. There will also be an interactive workshop to capture the Voice of the Next Generation with topics linked to the theme of the conference which will be reported as as one of the key outputs from the conference.
