The report incorporates the study of the global space robotics market which represents to a field of engineering and science that helps the people and astronauts in space exploration and mission activities. It is widely used in satellite maintenance, assembling, satellite servicing and gathering constraints in exceptionally tough environment in space. It utilizes space robotics to accelerating schedules and minimize the costs which leads to incur minimal risks and improve overall performance. The space robots increase the ability of human to work in space by offering greater handling capabilities to astronauts. As a result, space robotics finds massive application in freely operating on any planetary surface.
The rising demand for on orbit assembly, increasing servicing of satellite across the globe, huge investments in the space exploration activities by several countries, and debris removal are among the major factors driving the demand for the space robotics. The pioneering deployment of space robots in near space, deep space, and ground from government and commercial sectors is expected to boost the growth rate in the forecast period. The increase in government spending on remote manipulator system as automation improves human efficiency along with increasing application of remote manipulator system in space has fueled the overall demand for space robotics. For instance, in the recent past, the state council in China had revealed the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" to develop the local AI industry to $ 150 billion by 2030.
Moreover, the rising consciousness about conservation of fossil fuel is letting to the adoption of space robotic systems as these robots use less fuel and delivers enhanced services. The fourth industrial revolution, which is also called as industry 4.0, is one of the most significant trials taking place all over the world, particularly in high-industrialized and developed regions such as North America and Europe. The digitalization, data exchange, and automation are the three of its main characteristics.
The contracts, partnerships, and joint ventures are usually the strategies used by major companies to stay competitive in the market. For example, SpaceX was given an agreement to launch two Kazakhstan satellites as a part of agreement with various other satellites using the Falcon 9 launch rocket. Moreover, the United Launch Services, LLC was developed by a joint venture between The Boeing Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation.
The top companies’ actions improve the global space robotics market share to new peaks.

Executive Summary
The global space robotics market is expected to experience a significant growth rate of 6.9% from 2022-2031, owing to growing demand for space exploration.In the space industry, any unmanned spaceship can be called as space robotics. However, these robots are supposed to be more efficient machines that can ease assembling, manipulation, or servicing functions in orbit or space as astronaut’s personal assistant, or to reach the untapped areas and powers of discovery on remote planets as alternatives for human explorers. The space robotics and autonomous systems are engaged in the current and future missions of space exploration. Space robotics are purpose-defined machines that are able to perform several tasks, such as servicing, satellite maintenance, and exploration. The space robots give the human ability to manage and explore in space by proposing greater handling services to astronauts. As the technology in space robotics has already been improved, most of the experiments and tasks have been assigned to robots instead of living beings; in this way space robotics sustain lives. While humans have set foot on the Moon, scientific knowledge of cases on planets including Venus, Titan, Jupiter, and Mars comes almost fully from adventure in space performed by robots. The modern type of robots in space represents a multi-fining approach in the field of space engineering and science. Thus, the application base of space robotics technology has amplified, varying from helping the crew to independently operating on a new planetary surface.
In the recent past, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) had launched CIMON, an AI assistance robot whose function is to work with astronaut in their daily tasks at ISS. Developing technologies, such as Deep Learning (DL) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are extensively being used in the robotics industry. May of the companies are developing AI-based space robots that offer better discovery benefits and greater mobility in space. These robots can work with least human aid and execute highly complex tasks for a longer period of time. The courses in space exploration have got a lot of interest, and various regions have dominated the space robotics around the globe by revealing their capabilities for space. Moreover, the rising initiatives for space and its R&D have energized the demand for space robots in ground application. The growth in missions of space exploration could also improve the space budget and government spending. Moreover, the rising partnerships among leading companies and international space institutions to combine investment and technology are increasing the sales for space robotics for space missions.
While commercial type of projects has taken most of the headings in recent past, as the activity in the public sector have also grown drastically. For instance, in 2019, the U.S. government had formed a U.S. Space Command as a part of expanding capacities of U.S. military in space. Moreover, in 2020, NASA had declared about introducing a manned flight to the International Space Station on a commercially built rocket, creating it the first time after UK’s shuttle program revoked in the year 2011. This remarks a major milestone in the partnership between the private enterprise and government in the area of space, thus aiding the market growth of space robotics for government or commercial as end user.
The key players profiled in the study include Altius Space Machines, Astrobotic Technology, Honeybee Robotics, ispace Inc., Maxar Technologies, Motiv Space Systems Inc., Northrop Grumman Corporation, Oceaneering International, Inc., Olis Robotics, and Space Applications Services. The players in the market have been actively engaged in the adoption various strategies such as contract, partnership, product launch and product development to remain competitive and gain advantage over the competitors in the market.
For instance, in 2022, Altius Space Machines has partnered with Maxar Technologies to work on a contract to design and delivery of two flight-ready robotic arms with the length of 2m each, which leads to support the servicing capabilities and in-space assembly for the U.S. Department of Defense. In 2022, Astrobotic Technology has acquired a space technology company, Masten Space Systems, with unique suborbital payload testing services, which include a legacy of more than 600 vertical landing and takeoff rocket flights. This acquisition will lead to continue their operations in U.S. This will lead to support operations of suborbital flight at Masten’s test sites at Mojave.
