AI's Impact on the European Space Industry

83% of business leaders expect GenAI to have a positive or transformative impact on their businesses in the next five years (up from 74% last year). Six out of ten (61%) respondents plan to appoint a dedicated head of AI (up from 37% last year). However, only 7% reported widespread adoption of AI solutions in their business.[PwC report, 2024]

Our research at Costrum focuses on analysing what practical, real-world problems AI, especially GenAI, can solve in the European space industry. While many reports provide insights into AI adoption, they often lack a specific focus on the European space context.

Europe’s space industry comprises 1800 small and medium-sized companies employing 33,000 people, generating an annual turnover of €3.9 billion (~50% of the total space workforce). Yet, finding data-driven insights into how GenAI can specifically benefit this sector is challenging.

Our goal is to identify where GenAI can give Europe's space industry a competitive edge and where it may not be cost-effective. We aim to provide experience-based insights, practical do’s and don’ts, and explore the most promising use cases of GenAI across various domains in the space sector.

CEO & FOUNDER

CEO and Founder

CEO & FOUNDER

Founder of multiple startups (SaaS software, B2B & B2B hardware manufacturing/services). A few reached market & profitability. Full startup career path: intern to senior to CEO/founder. Experienced in all stages of the startup lifecycle: from "one man + laptop" to #1 software leader, later acquired by a global corporation. Currently the CEO and founder of Costrum, focusing on AI for the space industry and helping humans become an interplanetary species.

Ex-scientist, ex-pro traveler. At 13, cycled 1700 km to Rome, Italy. At 17, completed a 1000 km trekking trail in Spain. By age 20, hitchhiked 20,000 km (through 20 countries across 3 continents), interviewing 3 Nobel Peace Prize laureates.

The long game: Mars & extraterrestrial AI niche

It took only 66 years to go from the aeroplane in 1903 to the moon.
Becoming interplanetary with a city on Mars doesn't break the laws of physics. It's not impossible

We have all the core technologies to build Mars-1 city, no fundamental breakthrough in science is required - we are good to go. All we need is:
  • more talented and determined people - this is our part :)
  • more money, especially for early-stage projects - we are working on that too
  • and, above all, more courage.

Colony plans are being made. Like Mars Colonies, a collection of 22 of the best projects for a permanent Mars settlement for 1000 inhabitants submitted for the Mars Society's The Mars Colony Prize 2018. They cover everything from business models to sociological and political considerations to technical details.
There are many brave people willing to take on the challenge of space. In 2022, the European Space Agency announced a competition for an astronaut, and 22500+ people have applied.

We will do everything we can to see the Mars-1 city of 14,000 to 44,000 inhabitants by 2053. And we plan to be useful by mastering our niche of AI tools for the space industry and the extraterrestrial population.
Crazy? OpenAI started 9 years ago, Google 26 years ago. 2053 is a long way off.

Space-originated technology is already helping Earth: GPS, baby nappies, your smartphone screen.
If we solve Mars, many of Earth's problems will be catwalks.

We need Mars-1 to secure an amazing future, and to make sure we have any future at all.
And a backup planet for long-term survival in case of things like an asteroid >1 km in diameter, all-out nuclear war, or hostile super-intelligent AI.
Dinosaurs were once kings of Earth, amazing single-planet reptiles. Where are they now?

If you're thinking that our website is super poor right now and doesn't match that grandiose vision - you're right. It doesn't.

But 10 000, 30 000, 50 000+ working hours from now, it will look very different.
Big things take time.
And if we can't make a difference (preferably a positive one) on the scale of the space industry, we will have failed in our long-term mission, just build yet another AI-thing.

By the late 2020s or early 2030s, when Costrum's long-term R&D projects will have come out of stealth mode and hopefully be well advanced, it will be amazing to look back in 2024 and recall what a journey it has been.
