The global space robotics market is anticipated to exhibit significant CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period (2021-2027). The rise in demand for efficient repair, service, and maintenance of geostationary satellites in extreme conditions of space has driven the demand for autonomous space robots. Europe is making considerable contribution in the advancement of space robotics technology. In July 2021, European Space Agency (ESA) has launched European Robotic Arm (ERA) into space. ERA is the first robot capable of ‘walking’ around the Russian parts of the orbital complex. It can handle components up to 8000 kg with 5 mm precision, and it will transport astronauts from one working site to another. The launch of such robots in space is further driving the growth of the space robotics market.

In January 2021, NASA and the US National Science Foundation (NSF) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) affirming the agencies’ intent to continue their longstanding partnership in mutually beneficial research activities advancing space, Earth, biological, and physical sciences to promote the progress of science. Besides, in October 2019, the Luxembourg Government signed a MoU with NASA to work on space programs jointly. These initiatives are expected to propel the growth of the space robotics market during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Space Robotics Industry
