CONFERS - The Consortium for Execution of Rendezvous and Servicing Operations

The Consortium for Execution of Rendezvous and Servicing Operations (CONFERS) is the not-for-profit, independent global trade association developing industry-led standards and guiding international policies for satellite servicing that contribute to a sustainable, safe, and diverse space economy. An industry-led initiative, CONFERS identifies and leverages best practices from government and industry for rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO), on-orbit satellite servicing (OOS) operations, and in-space assembly, servicing, and manufacturing (ISAM). Through collaboration with its world-wide membership of industry and government space experts and stakeholders, CONFERS benefits the global satellite servicing industry (which includes, but is not limited to maintenance, repair, assembly, manufacturing, and inspection within the space domain extending from low-earth orbit to cislunar and beyond) by building common understanding between developers, operators, customers, investors, insurers, and government policy makers while protecting commercial participants’ financial and strategic interests. Dues-based membership is open to participation by stakeholders from the global ISAM, OOS and RPO community, including supplier and client companies, universities, government agencies and non-profit and not-for-profit organizations.
