I was honored to be a speaker at the 39th Space Symposium last week, and many thanks to my good friend and colleague Troy Thomas at Boston Consulting for sponsoring the panel. During the panel, I advocated for the USG to provide a pathway for on-orbit operational demonstrations of new space tech through a regular cadence of dedicated launches to showcase such capabilities. Such “innovation” launches would help address the issue of flight heritage, one of the biggest obstacles to getting new space tech adopted. A very large portion of the space innovation economy is locked out of paying for their own demonstrations due to costs, and nearly all USG R&D grant programs simply aren’t sufficient to both develop needed tech and pay for a launch to demo it. This deprives our space forces from seeing and choosing from the most cutting-edge emerging capabilities they could use. The non-space part of the DoD is rich in opportunities for innovation and experimentation in operationally relevant environments, and as such, enjoys a far more rapid uptake of new capabilities when compared to our forces in space. The US can never allow itself to be in a fair fight—we must always have a technological edge over our adversaries, particularly in space. Perhaps SPACEWERX can offer such a service to the appropriate performers as part of the SBIR program? #SPACEWERX #DIU #space #innovation #USSF #SDA #AFWERX

A really interesting topic of discussion coming up in the next SpaceWatch.Global Space Café Scotland hosted by ThinkTank Maths Limited / Norge AS CEO Angela Mathis CEO. Insurance for satellites is a hot topic, with the increased risk of space debris and the inability to accurately determine risk. #space #satellites #insurance #scotlandinspace #scotlandisnow
