On Orbit Live at SATELLITE — What Does “New Space” Really Mean?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The topic of this episode — our first live podcast — is more or less a question.

Or, is it a cultural identity?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode was recorded during the SATELLITE 2020 show in Washington D.C., and it’s co-hosted by our good friends</span> <strong>Grace Graham (Brooke Owens Fellow, Utah State University, Via Satellite contributor)</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and</span> <strong>Brian Garret-Glazer (Avionics Magazine)</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.
