Closing two years of deep research and innovative collaboration, the ORU-BOAS project has reached its climax, bringing to the forefront high-impact discoveries and significant advancements in the future of space exploration.
The Final Review Meeting was held in February 2025, in the heart of the European economy, Brussels, Belgium, bringing together the project's partners, project officer, and external reviewers to reflect on key achievements and discuss the future of space applications and potential collaborations.
Beyond its technical achievements and progress, one of the project's most significant—and perhaps unique—breakthroughs, now part of the ORU-BOAS legacy, is its commitment to eliminating gender discrimination. In the ORU-BOAS project, the number of male and female researchers and participants is almost equal, crossing the way for a more inclusive future, fully aligned with the European Union’s commitment to gender equality in the European scientific community.
Among other public deliverables, the ORU-BOAS team released a highlighted document entitled "Design and Development Specification for the Satellite Construction Kit (DSSCK)". This document defines the technical requirements for ORU/SatApps Providers from a Transporter’s perspective, ensuring smooth compatibility and integration.
Counting our communication milestones, we have referred to a new captivating video showcasing a real space mission simulation, and a free-flying conditions scenario simulation, which was added also to our YouTube community.
As we reflect on our achievements, we must not forget that the ORU-BOAS project laid the foundation for EU-funded R&I In-Space Operations and Services (ISOS).
