The Future of Space Platform is GCRI’s comprehensive hub designed to integrate Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) principles into the space sector. It leverages advanced risk management, data analytics, and collaborative tools to develop sustainable, resilient, and innovative space solutions across industries and regions.

The Future of Space platform comprises four main components:

• Nexus Ecosystem: An integrated collaboration and data management platform.
• Nexus Observatory: A real-time monitoring and analytics hub for space-related risks.
• GRIx (Global Risks Index): A tool for predictive space risk assessment.
• Nexus Reports: Comprehensive publications offering data-driven strategies and best practices.

The Nexus Ecosystem empowers collaboration by unifying data sources, facilitating interdisciplinary research, and providing advanced AI/ML analytics tools for predictive insights. It enables stakeholders from academia, industry, government, and civil society to work together seamlessly on sustainable space projects, fostering a dynamic environment for space innovation.

GRIx (Global Risks Index) offers a comprehensive framework for assessing and predicting space-related risks. By utilizing GRIx, organizations can strategically plan and mitigate potential threats, enhancing their resilience and ensuring sustainable operations in the dynamic space landscape.

Nexus Reports provide in-depth analysis of global space risks, data-driven insights, actionable recommendations, and case studies showcasing best practices. These reports serve as essential resources for policymakers, space industry leaders, and communities to inform strategic decision-making and risk management in space endeavors.
