Why SSPI is Sending its Members to the Moon
SSPI’s mission is more than connecting the people of the invisible, indispensable industry called space and satellite. SSPI’s message fuels our industry’s growth as it serves the world in countless ways. Making the case for space and satellite includes our return to Earth’s largest satellite, the Moon.
Talent, investment, and opportunity flow to industries that make a difference. SSPI is the only organization that promotes the enormous value of space and satellite through the dramatic stories of how our technologies and companies are making a better world. These stories overturn misconceptions about the industry that hold it back. They inspire our people and attract new ones to the industry. They help justify investment and give new customers a reason to care about our services and products. Through the stories we tell and the people we serve, SSPI inspires the growth of the US$1 trillion space economy of the future.
In the spirit of this mission, we have taken a small step, a giant leap, at no cost to our membership, to ensure that the talented people who have built our industry and that we have recognized through our many awards from the Hall of Fame, Mentor of the Year, “20 Under 35” and Better Satellite World are memorialized in a way befitting our mission as humanity returns to the Moon.
Honoree names have been loaded as part of Lonestar Data Holdings’ virtual mission test of data centers off-planet on the Moon launching this year on the first NASA CLPS mission to return to the surface of the Moon with Intuitive Machines and SpaceX. Lonestar’s mission is to save Earth’s data one byte at a time and enable a new market segment, driving value for our industry and for our world.
Historic space commerce at its best . . . the very nature of all our work.
Speaking of making the world a better place invisibly through space and satellite, did you know that the NOAA is currently engaged not just in studying the climate through satellite imagery but actually changing the climate from GEO orbit?
GEO 2.0: GEO Satellites Lowering the Temperature
Mark Twain once famously quipped, “Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” Well, Pam Sullivan isn’t so sure about that!
In this podcast, we hear from Pam Sullivan, Director of the Office of Geostationary Earth Orbit Observations at NOAA’s Satellite and Information Service. In this role, she oversees the development, acquisition, integration, installation, and acceptance of major system elements (spacecraft, instruments, launch services and ground systems) for the GOES-R Series satellites and NOAA’s next-generation geostationary satellites, Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO).
This podcast is the third episode of the GEO 2.0 podcast series. The series is sponsored by Hughes.
