Guido Baraglia, Head of Aerospace EMEA at Amazon Web Services, is a long-time aerospace and satellite industry leader. He discusses AWS’s customer-first approach to space, how cloud and ground station services accelerate startups, the rise of geospatial data in daily life, and the future of in-orbit processing, standardization and manufacturing.

Matthias heads up the BDI’s Department of International Cooperation, Security Policy, Raw Materials and Space – but the work he does extends far beyond the long title. Matthias speaks about one key effort, the German NewSpace Initiative, which he helped found and continues to manage. Having played a key role in its development, Matthias reveals its core mission and what more needs to be done to support the industry.

In this insane NewSpace journey, entrepreneur Scott Larson discusses being called upon to raise $500k CAD to seed his first project with Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos), acquiring his previous company's assets and turning them into a flourishing startup, and the intricate technology behind his company's success. "...there is an inherent appreciation of space, I suppose, and the longer you're in it, the more addicted you get to it," Larson reflects. His newspace entrypoint was, as he describes, opportunistic - but Larson now leads a wildly successful company at the center of the Earth observation industry. linkedin.com/company/newspacevision twitter.com/NewSpaceVision instagram.com/newspacevision facebook.com/newspacevision

In this episode, Mark Kugel, Co-founder and Co-CEO of microgravity research company Yuri (yes, it’s as fascinating as it sounds), explains how his startup enables researchers to conduct experiments in low gravity - while in orbit around the Earth - and why this has such special benefits. Yuri enables research but also wants to conduct it itself - perhaps even growing organs in space unaffected by the constraints of gravity on Earth.  You’ll also hear about the challenges Yuri faced, why small companies hold the power to disrupt the market, and what’s in store for the future of space innovation. linkedin.com/company/newspacevision twitter.com/NewSpaceVision instagram.com/newspacevision facebook.com/newspacevision

Space junk presents a significant threat to satellites in orbit. How does one tackle this issue? Who has what jurisdiction in space?  In its long-awaited return, the NewSpaceVision podcast arrives with an incredible guest: Kristina Nikolaus, Co-Founder and CEO of space debris company OKAPI:Orbits. This disruptive startup, founded in 2018, is changing the game. As more and more satellites are launched into space in today's areospace boom, the newspace industry needs it more than ever. Discover how software meets hardware in space, the challenges of creating such a revolutionary startup, and how systems need to change to help promote sustainability in space.  linkedin.com/company/newspacevision twitter.com/NewSpaceVision instagram.com/newspacevision facebook.com/newspacevision

After a long break, we return with an exciting new Episode of the NewSpaceVision Podcast, we invite Andrew Jones, SpaceNews Journalist & Expert on China Coverage, to talk about his role as the SpaceNews Correspondent and Contributing Editor to Planetary Society with a focus on China's space program topics.  Since 2018, he has been a contributor and editor to The Planetary Society webpage, writing guest blogs on issues regarding China.

In our November Episode of the NewSpaceVision Podcast we invite Jeffrey Manber, CEO of Nanoracks, to talk about his role in the commercialization of Mir Station and his fascinating time of working with the Russians in the 90s for Energia and later for MirCorp. Nanoracks was founded 2009 and is headquartered in Houston, TX. In its efforts to democratize space access, Nanoracks is the first New Space company to market and own in-space hardware on the ISS for satellite deployment. We talk about Nanoracks unique business model, Jeff’s near-term in-space-manufacturing ideas and the next commercial cash cow in space. We will also hear about Nanoracks first upcoming demonstration mission in 2021 and valuable advice for New Space entrepreneurs. The decade of in-space infrastructure has arrived!

For our October Episode, we invited Yonatan Winetraub, Co-Founder of SpaceIL - an Israli non profit organization established to participate in the Google Lunar XPrize contest in 2011 which launched the very first privately funded Moon Mission with its Lunar Lander Beresheet. The spacecraft made Israel the 7th country to ever accomplish to enter an orbit around the moon. Join us in an inspiring conversation about the founding story of SpaceIL and how it fascinated a whole generation of kids in Israel, the different design phases of the Lunar Lander, the SpaceIL team structure, the exceptional funding situation, Yonatans role in the Beresheet development, technical challenges during the development stages, an indication on upcoming plans of the company and of course mind-boggling and nerve-racking insights on the last few moments of the mission in April 2019 before the spacecraft collided with the lunar surface while attempting to land on the moon. Despite all that, SpaceIL’s Beresheet mission is the closest a private entity has come so far to landing on the lunar surface, it provided valuable information and learning experiences for future private missions to the moon and above all, inspired a whole generation of kids in Israel and NewSpace companies around the world. Lastly, to put it in Yonatan Winetraubs words “if you crashed a pa rty, you still had a good time”.

The NSV September Episode is all about radar satellites and its applications. We invited a very special guest who helped to shape and grow the SAR Satellite Industry in the 90s and 2000s in Germany like no other: Joerg F. Herrmann, former founding CEO of the TerraSAR-X services entity Infoterra, Sr. business development executive at Airbus Defense and now Sr. VP at Capella Space. From first endeavors to the first wave of commercialization of SAR. Join us for a conversation about the creation of Germany’s first Digital Elevation Model in early 2000 to TerraSAR and TandemSAR as well as differences of working for a U.S. start-up compared to his time in Germany, building the TerraSAR. We explore the question: Why is Germany currently lacking a private German SAR constellation with the ambition of Capella Space, Iceye, PredaSAR (U.S.) or Synspective (Japan) or a leading new space hardware startup? ...and even dare to ask: Is there an underutilization of SAR technology?

In this month’s episode, we welcome Tom Segert, the CEO of Berlin Space Technologies (BST). A Berlin-based New Space Company that offers reliable and cost efficient solutions for small satellites with a very global customer base. BST is currently pushing Satellite Manufacturing to a whole new level: Mass production. We talk with Tom about the company’s approach to satellite manufacturing, vertical integration, software innovation and, of course, the progress of their satellite assembly line of the factory in India.
