“At a time referred to as the ‘golden age’ of SAR satellites, it’s clear we’re embarking on the ‘platinum age’ of data analytics, at the head of which are the brilliant men and women of Ursa Space,” Robinson said. “I am thrilled to join Ursa Space at this important inflection point for the industry and our customers; it’s an honor to join such innovators.”
