128 - The Space Ecosystem, Benefits of Virtualization and Unique Opportunities in SmallSat

On this Constellations Podcast, we’ll discuss the business of being an end-to-end spacecraft company. The economies of scale and price points available are changing the model in a positive way, supporting a new space ecosystem that benefits many players.  A lot of the actual hardware being deployed in smallsats, had its start in ground-based IT, with smallsats beginning to adopt hardware that's very similar – which is not traditional.  During this episode, Josh Duncan, Business Development Lead from Blue Canyon Technologies will discuss the benefits of virtualization and how it is accelerating into the space domain.  He will talk about the unique opportunities in smallsat, including the ability to rideshare.  Hear Josh explain how the whole ecosystem has to fit together, including all the parts in architecture, launch, and comm in order to get an end product out to the user in a responsive timeframe
