About this episode

The episode discusses the urgent need for resilient satellite constellations in the context of military operations in space, featuring an interview with Peter Krauss of Terran Orbital.

Russian satellites recently maneuvered to within three meters of each other in low Earth orbit — a stark reminder that space is a warfighting domain and that the race to build resilient satellite constellations has never been more urgent. Lockheed Martin subsidiary Terran Orbital is building the satellite buses for the Space Development Agency's missile-tracking architecture — one tranche at a time. Laura Winter speaks with Peter Krauss, President and Chief Executive Officer, Terran Orbital.
