On the Space to Grow podcast, Astroscale’s Chris Blackerby and Charity Weeden bring their compelling experience and expertise to map out the technology, international policy, and scalability that will define the next generation of space exploration.

On this episode of Space To Grow, an Astroscale and Marketscale podcast, Astroscale’s Chris Blackerby and Charity Weeden dig into the role space plays in our lives, space exploration, and utilization. Many things impact space, including society, low-earth orbit, and lunar exploration.

Blackerby and Weeden talked to Dr. Timiebi Aganaba-Jeanty, a world-renown space lawyer and the founder of the Space Governance Lab at the School for the Future of Innovation in Society. She is also an assistant professor at the Future of Innovation in Society at Arizona State University and Sandra Day O Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.

“All of us have a role in the future we want, and believe it’s in our control, and we have the ability to control the future.” -Dr. Timiebi Aganaba-Jeanty

Aganaba-Jeanty has played a role in many things in space when it comes to governance and space. At ASU, where she holds dual roles, she founded the Space Governance Lab. She has a vision for herself and the future of space, which drives the meaning in her work. On the website at the Future of Innovation in Society, it says, “The Future is for Everyone,” and she believes that all humans play a role in the future of space exploration.

“Everyone should be able to see themselves in the future and how they can impact the future,” Aganab-Jeanty said. “All of us have a role in the future we want, and believe it’s in our control, and we have the ability to control the future.”

The trio dug into what students learn at the Future Innovation center. Aganaba-Jeanty talked about what students can learn and the careers they can go into. Further, they spoke about the role space has in all of our lives, whether we realize it or not.

Why shared auto-injectors keep forcing rebuilt device files

Why shared auto-injectors keep forcing rebuilt device files

Vertex Knight co-founder Fubin Wu cites digitalization, personalization and large-volume delivery as trends reshaping drug delivery devices, arguing structured data can enable reuse and cut duplicated design-file work for shared auto-injectors. ISPE says no regulatory pathway exists for platform devices, and ONdrugDelivery counts 182 large-volume subcutaneous biologics, about 15% of IV and SC agents.

  • 01A device shared across drug products still triggers repeated design control work for each new combination product, and ISPE's November 2025 article says no regulatory pathway yet exists to approve a platform device.
  • 02FDA's May 2024 draft platform technology designation under section 506K is written for drug product applications, so device design files sit outside it.
  • 03Large-volume subcutaneous biologics above 2 mL numbered 182 in a January 2025 ONdrugDelivery review, about 15% of IV and SC agents; Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews reported in July 2026 that volumes up to 25 mL are now pursued.

Hepalink's FOYA-winning syringe plant inspects 24,000 units an hour

Hepalink's FOYA-winning syringe plant inspects 24,000 units an hour

Hepalink's Pingshan prefilled syringe plant in Shenzhen won the Innovation (Novel Technology) category at ISPE's 2026 Facility of the Year Awards. In the transcript ISPE posted with its podcast, CaiXue Wei describes vertical design, AGV-assisted transfer, AI inspection and 5G-MEC as one integrated system built around a 330 million-syringe annual capacity; Hepalink's own release adds a 24-meter warehouse, sub-10 millisecond 5G and 24,000-unit-an-hour inspection.

  • 01Hepalink's 24-meter automated warehouse raised space utilization 52 percent over a traditional layout on a land-scarce Shenzhen site supporting 330 million syringes a year.
  • 02AGVs pass material through vaporized hydrogen peroxide chambers straight into Grade A isolators, and Hepalink credits the zero-touch flow for a 100 percent first media fill.

Chalmers' AI scientist turned 60,000 yeast records into nearly 2,000 testable ideas

Chalmers' AI scientist turned 60,000 yeast records into nearly 2,000 testable ideas

Chalmers University of Technology's AI scientist Eve analyzed about 60,000 public yeast records, came up with almost 2,000 testable ideas, and took full charge of planning the experiments and telling other robots what to do, according to CORDIS. Humans handled safety checks and plate moving.

  • 01The key step for company labs is translation: turning hypotheses into machine-executable protocols and getting contextualized results back to the reasoning layer fast.
