Canada In Space

On this weeks episode of the Space Economy my special guest is Lisa Campbell, the new president of the Canadian Space Agency. Ms. Campbell joined the Canadian Space Agency just months into the pandemic and started at the beginning of last September. We talk about some of the challenges the pandemics created, but also some of the opportunities it's presented. As well, a discussion of the CSA wouldn't be complete without at least one budget question.Please note we did have one very short sound issue during a portion of her answer to my first question, but otherwise there were no issues.

On today's episode of the Space Economy podcast we have final episode of our annual Winter Series.So far our Winter Series, focussed on NASA's return to the Moon with the Artemis program, has discussed the NASA VIPER robotic precursor mission to Moon's South Pole, the Lunar Gateway's first habitable element, the Habitation and Logistics Outpost, originally known as HALO but which has been combined with Maxar's Power and Propulsion Element to create what is now being called the Comanifest Flight, and in our last episode, a look back to help us with the way forward where we heard about Increasing Science-Operations-Engineering Synergism in the Apollo Lunar Exploration Program: Perspectives for the Artemis program. Today, we're going to look forward in time. We're going to learn about one company's ideas of using lunar materials for manufacturing. The ideas presented here are going to take some time to develop. Hence, why this episode is a look forward to when the Artemis program has progressed much further than what we've discussed so far. The presenters are Ron Polidan and Alex Ignatiev from Lunar Resources a startup formed three years ago. Their presentation is titled Lunar Surface Manufacturing. You can download the presentation from our website.

What are the lessons that can be learned from the Apollo program as we forward to the Artemis program from a science and engineering operations perspective?On this weeks Space Economy podcast we have another Future in Space Operation episode continuing our Winter Series related to NASA’s return to the Moon with the Artemis program.In our first episode we focused on NASA’s VIPER robotic precursor mission to Moon’s South Pole. In the second episode last week, we focused on the Lunar Gateway’s first habitable element, the Habitation and Logistics Outpost, originally known as HALO but which has been combined with Maxar’s Power and Propulsion Element to create what is now being called the Comanifest Flight.Today our focus is a look back to help us with the way forward. James Head of Brown University discusses Increasing Science-Operations-Engineering Synergism in the Apollo Lunar Exploration Program: Perspectives for the Artemis program.Most of the people who listen to this podcast weren’t born when the Apollo missions took place. And now some are working on the Artemis program. This episode provides insights from the Apollo program for Artemis participants as they prepare for humanities return to the Moon.

Today is December 21st, the Winter Solstice, and also the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. For the Space Economy podcast, it is the beginning of our annual three part Winter Series where we feature content from other creators.This year we're featuring three episodes all related to NASA's return to the Moon with the Artemis program and all are intertwined in the space economy of today and tomorrow. The first episode is on NASA's VIPER rover, a precursor science mission that does double duty in providing new data that will help scientists better understand the Earth-Moon dynamic, while at the same time providing key data to those interested in using lunar resources as part of a future lunar economy. The content originated from the Future in Space Operations weekly teleconference. The guest speaker is Dan Andrews, Director of Engineering at NASA's Ames Research Center. The presentation that goes with this podcast is available on our website.

My guest this week on the Space Economy podcast is Marcia Smith, the founder of Space Policy Online. You may remember that Marcia was my guest recently on November 16. We didn't plan to have her back on so soon, but as it turns out there was some notable space policy news last week from the National Space Council meeting.
