A privilege to listen to Michael Lopez-Alegria, Chief Astronaut at Axiom Space, during his keynote session at #SSSIF2026. Michael’s vision for a robust orbital economy is more relevant than ever. Thank you, Michael, for reminding us that the sky is no longer the limit!

It was an absolute privilege to attend the keynote session by Doug Liddle, Chair of @UKspace , on the future of the British space economy. The UK space sector is at a pivotal moment, and with leaders like Doug at the helm of the trade association, the trajectory is clear:📈.

As #SSSIF2026 wraps up the morning sessions, we had the honor of hosting Roger Hunter @NASAAmes, sharing insights on innovation, collaboration, and how smallsat and autonomous systems could shape future space missions.🛰️ A key voice in space ecosystem!

From launchers to EO and satcom, space markets are maturing—and policy must evolve. @astro_duque (President of @Hispasat) shared a powerful reflection on how public–private partnerships can unlock competitive, sustainable space markets in Europe. #SSSIF2026

Inside some of the most ambitious missions ever: Mars Sample Return. Michela Muñoz, @NASA, takes us through the mission that could help answer one of humanity’s biggest questions: was there ever life on Mars? From robotics to planetary science—pure space history.🪐 #SSSIF2026

Really insightful keynote by @AlexNajjarEC (@Novaspace) at #SSSIF2026. From rising government space budgets to strong smallsat growth forecasts (~1,700 launches/year through 2035), the message was clear: the space ecosystem is in the middle of a structural shift.🚀

Great opening of the closing day with @TeresaRiesgo (@CienciaGob) and @nievesvalenro (@AndaluciaJunta) highlighting Spain growing space ecosystems, the role of talent and collaboration, and space as a strategic pillar for innovation, sovereignty and critical services. #SSSIF2026
