Thu, 05 Jun 2025 We are proud to share that SSTL’s Founder and Chairman, Sir Martin Sweeting, has led the Royal Society’s landmark 4 year study culminating in the Space: 2075 report, which explores the long-term future of space science, technology, and governance.

As one of the UK’s leading space pioneers, Sir Martin brings decades of insight into the evolution of small satellites and their role in democratising access to space. His contribution to the report reflects both his enduring commitment to responsible space development and SSTL’s continued leadership in shaping the future of the space sector.



Space: 2075 examines the opportunities and challenges humanity may face over the next 50 years, including space sustainability, infrastructure, and the role of international collaboration. Sir Martin’s input highlights how innovation and accessibility—values at the heart of SSTL—can underpin a vibrant and sustainable space economy.

We’re delighted to see his vision reflected in this important publication and encourage those interested in the future of space to explore the full report, available now via the Royal Society. Link below:
