NAMIC Singapore’s Post

An important but not so obvious value of good standards development is in its transparent process of factoring stakeholders’ inputs. Not only does this ensure that the eventual standard is well-considered and crafted, it also rallies stakeholders to converge on common ground and buy-in. Looking forward to the success of this #SingaporeStandards that NAMIC Singapore and SMF-SDO are working on! 👍🏼 Singapore Standards Council #additivemanufacturing #standardstotrust

❓Curious to learn how you can dramatically reduce time to market, physical prototyping and testing and late-stage failures? Come to Hamburg and glimpse behind the scenes of the ZAL, the leading research and development hub for civil aviation. A place where new approaches for #digitalization, system integration and #industrialization of innovative aviation technologies are born. This stunning hub for ideas is the perfect setting for our Aéro Apéro series well-known among industry leaders and digital experts. In a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, we will deep dive into dedicated topics bringing the aerospace & defense industry up to new heights. 🛫 💡 The topic on the agenda: MODSIM - Unified MODeling and SIMulation.

RTX's Pratt & Whitney opens expansion site at Eagle Services Asia Facility in Singapore Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, today announced the official opening of a 48,000 square-foot expansion of its Singapore based engine center, Eagle Services Asia (ESA). The facility will grow its GTF capacity by two-thirds this year. "This expansion demonstrates our commitment to building industrial capacity by continuing to invest in our strategic sites around the world to support our customers. We are bringing together talent from our engine center, technologies from the Singapore Technology Accelerator and innovative practices from across Pratt & Whitney to improve MRO performance for our GTF fleet." Shang Meleschi Vice President of Aftermarket Operations – Asia Pacific and Türkiye Pratt & Whitney The transformative technology insertion applied across both ESA sites integrates robotics, automation and machine learning to increase efficiency, lower stress on machine operators and increase safety for key MRO processes.... https://bit.ly/3Ic9l37 #ESA Eagle Services Asia Shang Meleschi RTX - Pratt & Whitney SIA Engineering Company Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) LetsTalkCity #Singapore #Aviation #Aerospace #GTF_engine #MRO #SoutheastAsia

Highlights from ILA Berlin - Pioneering Aerospace 1.    Prominent Presence of In-Space Manufacturing Companies Noteworthy is the significant presence of companies focused on in-space manufacturing. Key players include The Exploration Company, Voyager Space, Redwire Space Europe, and Airbus. The pioneering mission by Varda Space Industries seems to have inspired many in the industry, though I remain skeptical about the market size. Bioprinting, in particular, holds promise, yet a commercially viable product appears to be at least a decade away. It is evident that both Europe and the US are recognizing low Earth orbit as a commercial frontier, while space agencies are shifting their focus toward deep space exploration. 2.    Funding Shifts and Security Discourse I liked how one of the speakers said with regret that there will be less money for exploration projects in the future, because in the foreseeable future more money will be spent on war. This shift towards security and technological sovereignty was palpable. The European Union is acutely aware of the strategic importance of space for Europe's future security. The current situation mirrors post-Yugoslav war developments when Europe established its own GNSS. Today, similar efforts are underway with IRIS², despite the realistic expectations that the system will not be operational by 2027 and will likely exceed initial cost estimates. Plus the results of European Parliament elections will likely affect EU’s approach to space programs. 3.    Emphasis on Long-Term Space Sustainability A key event was the signing of the ESA Zero Debris Charter by over forty organizations, underscoring a commitment to sustainable space activities. However, the document itself does not contain the clause of deorbiting of space object within five years, which is already a commitment for European Space Agency - ESA missions. This requirement currently applies mainly when companies seek an FCC license, effectively making the five-year rule a standard since 2022. The Zero Debris Charter remains non-binding, but it reflects a collective aspiration towards a future free from space debris. 4.    Support for Light Launch Vehicles Europe is poised to support the development of light launch vehicles, with anticipated, albeit modest, returns of European launch capabilities this summer with Ariane 6 and LV from Isar Aerospace. This initiative reflects an institutional push aiming to ensure Europe’s assured access to space, however commercial prospects of these LVs remain unclear to me. 5.    Local Focus of ILA Berlin ILA Berlin retains a local flavor, with a limited presence of international space companies. I had anticipated greater participation from French, Italian, and British firms, as well as leading New Space companies from Lithuania (Kongsberg NanoAvionics) and Belgium (Aerospacelab). Nevertheless, it was a pleasure to meet the colleagues from the Berlin office of EnduroSat.
