The future of the space economy

Momentum has well and truly begun. Whilst science remains at the heart of all space missions, projects today are built just as much on economic viability as they are on scientific ambition. And the figures speak for themselves. Some have forecast that the space economy could surpass $1.8 Trillion by 2035 and is growing at an average of 9% per annum, and with a record number of launches and missions planned the future really is looking bright for this sector.
We design, build, and supply vacuum technology that enables the testing of all critical components before they are deployed in space. Protecting return on investment and allowing projects to manage risk.


Edwards, vacuum for science Our drive to create environments where innovation thrives has seen us develop pioneering vacuum solutions across a range of industries for over 100 years, building our reputation as the ‘partner of choice’ for many in the scientific community. At Edwards we understand that true innovation is rarely a lone endeavour, but instead relies on experts in their field coming together with a profound comprehension of the underlying science and a common purpose. Through our innovative partnerships we build tomorrows technology today. Complex challenges require exceptional support For those times when an off-the-shelf product doesn’t meet your requirements our Bespoke Product Development (BPD) team can work with you to develop your customised vacuum system. Along with tools such as our in-house PUMPCALC software, the BPD team will analyse key metrics such as your chamber size, gas flow, required pressure range and purpose of the test. By modelling your system, we can ensure that every element of your vacuum system is perfectly suited for its purpose. Partnerships in innovation Our proven ability to work in complex projects involving high-level expertise is demonstrated by many long-standing partnerships in the following areas: • Research and development. • Analytical instrumentation. • Ultra-high vacuum applications. • Semiconductor. • Medial applications. • High energy physics. Global presence With worldwide customer centres and decades of experience working with challenging, global projects, you can see why Edwards is the partner of choice for science, research and innovation.
