Welcome from Manchester on Day 2 of the UK Space Conference 2025, where big moves in space infrastructure are making headlines.

In this Space Café Clip, Torsten Kriening sits down with Jacob Geer, Managing Director of Orbit Fab Europe, just hours after the announcement that ESA awarded a new ARTES contract focused on in-orbit refueling for telecommunications satellites.

In this dynamic conversation, Jacob shares:
• What’s behind the ESA contract and how Orbit Fab is enabling refueling for electric propulsion satellites
• How their RAFTI valve is revolutionizing satellite design for long-term sustainability
• The UK’s role in advancing civil and commercial satellite servicing
• A heartwarming tribute to Beatrice Shilling, a pioneering female engineer from Manchester, and how Orbit Fab is honoring her legacy in their upcoming launch
• What’s next for Orbit Fab — including a PSLV mission and more industry-shaping projects on the horizon

This isn’t just tech—it’s heritage, innovation, and a vision for a circular economy in space.
