On this edition of The Journal of Space Commerce Podcast, Tom Patton talks with Mary Glazkova, CEO of Mission Space. A hardware and software company that is an emerging player in space weather intelligence, Mission Space is developing real-time monitoring and forecasting solutions that safeguard both Earth-based and space-based infrastructure.

"Space weather has measurable and very immediate effects on systems we rely on every day." Mary Glazkova, Mission Space

The company's flagship technologies include a Space Weather Operation System (SWOS), a forecasting platform delivering 96-hour alerts with 500 km resolution that is powered by proprietary machine learning models, and the Zohar Satellite Constellation, a growing network of low Earth orbit sensors providing high-resolution, space-originated environmental data.

"Space weather has measurable and very immediate effects on systems we rely on every day," Glazkova said. "For instance, airlines like Delta or United sometimes reroute or delay flights due to the risk of space weather. Another example is power grids. Magnetic storms overload transformers. It damages hardware and forces shutdowns."

The company serves multiple sectors, including defense, satellite communications, aviation, power grids, GNSS infrastructure, and space tourism.

Headquartered in Miami with a European presence in Luxembourg, Glazkova says Mission Space aims to be the “NOAA” of the commercial space era.
