HELLO FUTURE: Why Do We Need Satellites around the Moon?

In this episode of Hello Future, Peter Krauss — the President and CEO of Terran Orbital — answers that question and shows how small satellites are getting us ready for the future. We start with NASA’s CAPSTONE mission. This tiny satellite is acting like a scout, testing a special orbit around the Moon so astronauts can safely travel there on the Artemis missions. Then Peter explains the big change happening closer to Earth. Instead of one giant satellite, the U.S. military is building huge groups of smaller ones. Terran Orbital just delivered all 42 satellite buses for the first batch, called Tranche 1. These many small satellites work together to make communication faster, stronger, and much harder to break. Peter also talks about what’s coming next with Tranche 3 and how these satellites will help keep our country safe.Meet The Future: https://mtf.tv/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
