Space Resources and the Community

A small nation on the global map: Luxembourg plays a central role in the field of space. With the creation of the Luxembourg Space Agency in 2018, and then, in 2020, the inauguration of the first research and innovation centre focused on space resources - ESRIC, the small Grand Duchy is no longer renowned only for its financial services and European institutions. Furthermore, Luxembourg is hosting the event of reference that has recently concluded its sixth edition: Space Resources Week. This year’s conference brought together the community comprised of key actors from academia, research, space agencies, industry, as well as the UN Expert Group on Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA). In this episode of Resourceful, we have invited Dr Kathryn Hadler, Director of ESRIC to tell us more about the outcomes of this conference. Sources: www.esric.lu/news-media/podcasts
