Constellations - Explore Space Network Technologies with Industry Leaders

​​Nations are rethinking how much control they need over their space infrastructure and what real sovereignty looks like in practice. Boston Consulting Group's Alessio Bonucci explores the industrial limits, geopolitical pressures and shifting partnerships shaping space sovereignty in Europe and beyond.​

Heather Pringle of Space Foundation examines how organizations across government, industry and the international community are preparing for a new phase of operations beyond low Earth orbit. She breaks down how technology shifts, evolving partnerships and changes in mission architecture are influencing long-term capability and strategic positioning. Pringle also highlights the decision-making habits leaders need as technical complexity and competitive pressure accelerate.

Nathan de Ruiter, Partner and Managing Director at Novaspace, joins the show to unpack the shifting supply and demand dynamics shaping satellite capacity across Asia. De Ruiter discusses how pricing pressures, national space programs, government connectivity initiatives and network modernization efforts are influencing operator decisions across the region. He also outlines how these trends are redefining competition and informing long term fleet planning and partnerships. Listen as he breaks down the key forces reshaping Asia's satellite market.

As the lines between commercial innovation and national defense blur, America's space industrial base is transforming. In this episode of Constellations, Peter Krauss, President and CEO of Terran Orbital, emphasizes the importance of rapid iteration and accelerated development to build and deploy on-orbit assets more efficiently. Speed is the primary transformation reshaping the industry, driven largely by the realities of contested space. Hear Peter talk about this and what keeps him up at night.

In today's satellite industry, the ability to refuel satellites in orbit is key to building a dynamic space operation. As space mobility and logistics become more advanced, refueling in GEO will give a significant advantage to military customers and commercial operators. Will Armijo, VP of Space Systems at Orion Space Solutions, breaks down the path to robust refueling technology.

As satellites become more maneuverable and denial strategies evolve, orbit selection and agility are shaping the future of space advantage. In this episode, Tom Campbell, President of Space Missions at Redwire joins us to discuss the benefits of various orbital regimes, the role of maneuverability in maintaining resilience and how technology is enabling new strategies for contested space.

Did you know that a graphing calculator has more processing power than most satellites? In this episode, hear how Edward Ge, Co-Founder and CEO of Aethero, is working to change all of that by building the next generation of space-grade computers for computationally heavy space missions. Listen as he shared the details on what it takes to build powerful compute for space, how it benefits the industry and some of the challenges still ahead.
