Constellations, the podcast that connects listeners to space industry leaders, is celebrating its third anniversary this month. Launched by Kratos in 2017, the podcast, with listeners in 150 countries, has hosted more than 90 guests, including Kay Sears from Lockheed Martin, Lt. Gen. John Shaw from USSPACECOM and Vint Cerf, Father of the Internet.
Sponsored by Kratos, Constellations is a bi-weekly podcast where business leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators and thinkers express their views on the latest trends and issues of the satellite and space industry. The 25-minute interviews are hosted by John Gilroy, a familiar voice of the Washington, DC tech community, who hosted “The Computer Guys” on National Public Radio for 23 years and now moderates “Federal Tech Talk” on Federal News Network.
Constellations deals with the all aspects of space: commercial business, government and military, research and innovation, and more. During its third year, Constellations addressed industry hot topics ranging from the ground segment revolution, to the latest Earth Observation (EO) technologies, the role of a Space Force and the challenges of dealing with congested space. Recent guests include leaders from the U.S. Space Force and Congress, large satellite corporations as well as space startups, venture capitalists, NGOs and new space companies.
Listeners and speakers can join in the anniversary celebration on social media, December 2nd through December 9th, by sharing their favorite episode and win a commemorative Constellations tee-shirt.
