Intro music: “Take Me Higher” by Menya Hinga

This week's episode of Space Ventures Radio examines Descartes Labs, a machine learning and predictive analytics startup using satellite imagery to predict crop yields, starting with corn in the U.S.

Important Update on the "Team" Section:

I missed mentioning Mark Mathis (Software Architect), Rick Chartrand (Mathematician) and Tim Kelton (Cloud Architect) in the founding team.

MARK MATHIS — For the past decade Mark has worked to help put great science into the hands of decision makers, a role he continues to pursue at Descartes Labs creating and curating rich customer experiences. He studied computer science and engineering at Texas A&M University before moving to Los Alamos National Laboratory as a DOE High Performance Computer Science Graduate Fellow.

RICK CHARTRAND — was once a pure mathematician, with a PhD from University of California, Berkeley. He now much prefers to be useful. Rick’s applied mathematics expertise includes image processing, machine learning, compressive sensing, and the iconoclasm of non-convex continuous optimization.

TIM KELTON — focuses on building distributed systems using cloud architecture. Prior to joining Descartes Labs, Tim was a Research and Development engineer for 15 years at Los Alamos National Laboratory working on problem areas such as deep learning, space systems, nuclear non-proliferation, and counterterrorism.

An in-depth look at Rocket Lab, a space venture shaking up the small payload launch market with an all carbon-fiber rocket that offers lower costs, more frequent launches and better payload deployment than the current "rideshare" market.

To bolster the "Competition" section, check out this great article on Quartz about the small satellite launch sector — it looks like Rocket Lab has some direct competition breathing down its neck in the form of Firefly Space Systems, Vector Space, as well as a few other companies: http://qz.com/747513/the-next-big-thing-in-space-business-is-tiny-rockets/
