156: The Internet in Space with Kepler’s Diane Burchett


Listen Later

The folks at Kepler are on a mission to build the Internet in space.

Diane Burchett always loved math and science and was curious about how things worked. From taking apart the family vacuum to materials engineering, and watching sci-fi shows featuring bioengineering, they’ve all be a part of her journey towards working in the space industry- along with a Summer Session Program at International Space University in 2003, and her qualification and application of additive manufacturing in space.  Today, Diane is the Vice President of Engineering at Kepler Communications! On this episode, Diane chats with Beth about the people, inspiration and adventures she’s come to find along the way, and what the future brings for all of us on Earth and in space…
