And the evolution of multi-mission orbital vehicles
| Technology innovation has been fueling a variety of advanced concepts which are now finding their way to the marketplace.
One advanced concept that might be about to have "a moment" is space-based solar power. ๐ This concept seems to be getting some additional attention. To find out where we're at, we've assembled a group of experts to discuss the various aspects of the concept and the business case. Join us next Thursday for this live event.
This weeks Space Minds episode that dropped yesterday was a live session recorded at the AIAA Ascend conference titled Evolution of Multi-Mission Orbital Vehicles. Jeff Foust takes the audience on a journey navigating the technical, procurement, and cultural shifts.
Next week we're recording ๐ฅ live from the SmallSat Conference from Salt Lake City with four planned episodes.
During the summer we're trying some different formats for our Space Minds podcast. But fret not, we'll still be doing some great insightful shows from events like the Small Satellite conference and the World Space Business Week. But we'll mix in a few other pods and see what you think. You can send your feedback to spaceminds@spacenews.com.
If you're interested in sponsoring webinars or Space Minds, including at the World Space Business Week and other events this fall don't hesitate to reach out to the sales team.
