Are We There Yet? - Episode 3: Dialing 911 in Space

What happens when astronauts, spacecraft, or future lunar settlers need help and there's no communications network to call on?    In Episode 3 of Are We There Yet?, Tamara Bond-Williams speaks with Toni Spatola, Chief Commercial Officer of Filtronic, about the communications and navigation infrastructure that may enable safe operations beyond Earth orbit.    Using the Artemis II communications blackout as a starting point, the conversation explores how governments and industry are building the communications, positioning, and navigation systems that future lunar missions may depend upon.    If communications infrastructure is a prerequisite for safe operations, it may also become one of the foundational investments and service sectors of the emerging Space Safety Economy.    Sponsored by the American Space Exploration Children's Trust Fund.
