Zero Gravity Space Dreams

Welcome to the podcast! Today, we have a truly fascinating guest who embodies the intersection of art, technology, and innovation. I'm thrilled to introduce Anna Shaposhnik, a creative technologist who's on a mission to revolutionize storytelling in space. Anna is the CEO of Orbital Entertainment Supply, a company developing free-flying robots to capture breathtaking footage in zero gravity. Imagine being able to remotely fly around space stations – that's the kind of groundbreaking technology Anna and her team are working on. A recent graduate of USC's prestigious Iovine & Young Academy, Anna holds a B.S. in Arts, Technology, and the Business of Innovation, with a specialization in Connected Devices and Making. But her expertise doesn't stop there – she's also ventured into astronautical engineering, bringing a unique interdisciplinary perspective to her work. Anna's journey in the space industry is impressive. She's worked as a Marketing Manager for Orbit Fab, a startup building "Gas Stations In Space," and contributed her skills as a graphic designer and machinist to USC's Rocket Propulsion Laboratory – the first student-run lab to successfully send a rocket to space. What sets Anna apart is her belief in abandoning the siloed engineer stereotype and embracing aesthetics in all aspects of technology. She's a strong advocate for blending art and engineering, aiming to bring creativity and delight to the space industry.
