113 - Space Situational Awareness, Sustainability and Supporting the New Space Revolution

In this Constellations Podcast, we’ll discuss how earth orbits are becoming more crowded due to greater accessibility for all. As more rockets, more satellites, more ground stations and more components are helping to grow space capabilities,  they inadvertently grow the risks of collision with uncontrolled space debris and coverage gaps with other nations, providers and schemas. During this episode, Melanie Stricklan, co-founder and CEO of Slingshot Aerospace, will talk through the state of our orbits and space situational awareness, how massive growth in space affects sustainability, and how space data can be curated and combined to create a more holistic view of what is going on in orbit. Hear Melanie explain how Slingshot’s Beacon platform fosters collaboration between space players to support timely threat detection and enable confident decision-making that can protect space assets and infrastructure.
