Bavarian State Government Announces Collaboration with Axiom Space
Activities Could Include a Possible Future Human Spaceflight
The Bavarian State Chancellery signed a letter of intent with the Houston-based company Axiom Space to collaborate on space exploration activities to include a possible future human spaceflight. The letter of intent envisages opening up the possibilities of sustainable access to space for Bavaria in the future.
As a first step, possible research, development, and production projects in low-Earth orbit using Bavarian space technologies are to be explored in order to support the Bavarian economy. Building on this, an uncrewed orbital microgravity laboratory for commercial, governmental and institutional purposes would be conceivable.
Of note, Axiom Space is exploring establishing its European hub in Bavaria due to the convergence of the region’s space ecosystem in that area.
This letter of intent underscores how Axiom Space offers possibilities of sustainable access to space for Bavaria and people everywhere. Working together with nations, scientists, and academia, Axiom Space is building opportunity by leading a growing global space ecosystem.
