<\/blockquote>\nproject purpose<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
The In-Space Proof-of-Concept 3 (InSPoC-3)<\/strong> initiative plays a critical role in advancing the orbital economy by utilizing cutting-edge onboard and shared intelligence. As space transportation evolves, space-tugs are expected to operate for extended periods, executing diverse missions throughout their lifecycle. These space-tugs will function as part of an orchestrated fleet of vehicles and cargo. InSPoC-3 aims to address key challenges in this evolving landscape, focusing on autonomy, longevity, “over-the-space” updates, and enhanced cooperation capabilities in space logistics. The initiative will explore and mature advanced software technologies, including distributed computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital twins, to meet these objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n
