This week on the Space Economy podcast we're presenting a Future in Space Operations talk by Dan Lopez, Chief Business Officer of Arkisys. The title of Dan's talk is Driving the Next Silk Road in Space: The Arkisys Port Architecture.
Now, the one thing to remember about these Future in Space Operations presentations is that you will sometimes get ideas that are in the very early stages of development. That's the case with the Port Architecture by Arkisys. While the idea appears sound, the business case is ongoing. So Dan will introduce the product and their plans. The company is less than 2 years old but has garnered enough support including from the U.S. Department of Defense, Defense Innovation Unit that they are preparing for on-orbit demo.

In this weeks Space Economy podcast we're presenting a Future in Space Operations talk by Gary Calnan, the founder and CEO of CisLunar Industries.
As we prepare to head back to the Moon, this time hopefully to stay, we'll need to continue to build up our commercial efforts in low Earth orbit. For CisLunar Industries that means making the business case for recycling space debris for in-space metal manufacturing. Visit our website for the presentation.

Today’s podcast is a Future in Space Operations presentation from Dec. 15 with Robert Smith of the University of Alberta who discusses The Making of Megascience: The History of the James Webb Space Telescope.
So what does the James Webb Space Telescope have to do with the Space Economy. Well to start, over 10,000 people worked on the project with over $10 billion being spent by the NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency over 20 years.
And if you are regular to this podcast you will know we previously interviewed NASA’s Chief Economist Alex MacDonald about his book the Long Space Age, the Economic Origins of Space Exploration from Colonial America to the Cold War. The book in part discusses the grand terrestrial observatories, how they were funded and the impact on society. So while the Webb space telescope will advance our knowledge of the universe, it will also have an economic impact.

In the second episode of season 5 of the Space Economy podcast my returning is Jeffrey Manber, President International and Space Stations at Voyager Space and Chairman of Nanoracks.
It's been a year since Jeff was last on the show and what a year it's been for him and the company. Voyager Space, an up and coming player in the space industry, acquired a majority stake in XO Markets and its largest subsidiary Nanoracks earlier this year. And just last week a team lead by Nanoracks was selected in the first phase of NASA's Commercial Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Development program for commercial space station concepts. Two other proposals were selected including Northrop Grumman and the Orbital Reef team led by Blue Origin and Sierra Space. They are joined by Axiom Space which received a grant earlier in 2020.

My guest today is Mina Mitry, CEO of Kepler Communications. The Toronto based telecommunications company has a pretty big goal, that of being THE internet access provider in space, from low Earth orbit, to the Moon and beyond. To make that happen the company has two satellites constellations planned, the first for the IoT market. They currently and have 15 satellites in orbit of a planned 140. The other satellite constellation would be for the broadband market and would have 360 satellites. But that's not all.
They have a new product called Aether which Mina will discuss in detail during our interview. But subsequent to our interview which was recorded on Nov. 15, a news item came out outlining plans by Kepler for a S-band low Earth orbit constellation of 114,852 satellites. The media reports had it slightly wrong. While Kepler, working with Germany's Federal Network Agency, had submitted an application to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), it wasn't for a constellation, it was for the small Aether communication hardware that could eventually be placed on the potential 114,852 customer satellites. Still, these numbers are mind-boggling when you think that just over 10 years ago we only had a total of 1,000 active satellites in orbit.

In 1987 Frank White coined the term “Overview Effect” which he used to describe the "cognitive shift that results from the experience of viewing the Earth from space and in space, from orbit or on a lunar mission."In this the second episode in our annual Summer Season special we have another Future-in-Space Operations presentation from a couple of weeks ago. The guest speaker is Jordan Bimm from the University of Chicago, who provides some fascinating insights into the Overview Effect, specifically that we need to rethink what the Overview Effect is.

Welcome to the first episode of our annual Summer Season specials. We've just completed Season 4 and Season 5 is currently scheduled to start on September 27. Between now and then we'll be featuring weekly interviews or presentations from other content creators.Today we have a Future-in-Space Operations presentation from April of this year. The presenter is Mike Lindsey, CTO of Astroscale who discusses the need for satellite life extension services, active debris removal, their technology and offerings. We offer this presentation now as Astroscale's ELSA-D mission successfully demonstrated repeated magnetic capture of a clients satellite last week.In his presentation Mike states Space Development Demands Sustainability. This has never been more true. Space debris is, and has been a problem since the early days of the space age. While most space actors are taking sustainability into account, the issue of legacy debris is a problem still without a cost-effective solution. Companies like Astroscale are tying to make the business case by offering innovative solutions. They aren't offering to clean up legacy debris, but what they are attempting is a good first step. As new ideas, technologies, and importantly, business solutions come into existence, we can only hope that all space debris, legacy and new, can be removed safely.
