As commercial space companies accelerate innovation into the final frontier, government agencies are looking to take greater advantage of the private sector. The National Reconnaissance Office, the division operating the U.S. government’s network of spy satellites, is the latest eager to expand its partnership. NRO Director Chris Scolese made headlines at the 2023 Space Symposium when he announced that the agency plans to quadruple the number of NRO satellites on orbit in the next decade—and now with just one week before the agency’s Tech Forum, commercial space stands to benefit. Morgan sits down with Dr. Scolese in a rare one-on-one interview to discuss public-private partnerships, innovation and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
