A new breakthrough in multi-band antenna technology holds the potential to make communications as seamless and automated as the cellular networks used today. Listen to Ryan Stevenson, Chief Scientist at Kymeta talks about the capabilities of the new multi-band antenna technology and discuss the potential it offers to re-define satcom connectivity for a range of applications from military to aero.
Jiral Shah from Gravitics discusses next-generation space structures and modular space station platforms. Hear Jiral Shal emphasizes the ability to work within a timeline that aligns with operational tempos, measured in hours, not days. He discusses how logistics and mobility are key to moving faster, supported by pre-positioned assets in orbit, rather than a dependence on terrestrial launch for a next layer of resiliency. He also mentions power being a commodity in space, and how access to large amounts of power, specifically nuclear power, will unlock many applications and fundamentally change everything.
Matt Magaña from Voyager Technologies discusses how partnerships can accelerate space innovation. Matt will explain why these collaborations are more crucial than ever, particularly in overcoming the "valley of death" through shared technology. He'll also touch on the challenges of government funding with OTAs and mission-based awards, and why building a robust space industrial base requires more conversation and investment.
