After Hours: Launching the small(er) things with Exolaunch CEO Robert Sproles

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Exolaunch CEO Robert Sproles discussing the company's role in facilitating satellite launches.

As commercial space becomes a more and more mature industry, we're seeing new needs emerge. Front and the center is the need for someone - or some company - to make it easy for folks in need of a launch to find the right ride share for their satellite, no matter how small. Enter ExoLaunch. In this episode we talk with ExoLaunch CEO Robert Sproles about what their company is accomplishing as the shipping company to the stars (or at least Earth Orbit).
