The Space Hour

NASA has released its latest batch of commercial partnerships it has created to help fund new technologies. The companies involved are highly specialized in different facets of the space industry, whether it’s a 3D printing system for NASA’s Artemis lunar exploration program, testing a simple method for removing dust from planetary solar arrays, or maturing a first-stage rocket recovery system for a small satellite launch provider.

To learn more about this program, The Space Hour spoke with Jim Reuter. He’s NASA’s Associate Administrator for the Space Technology Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters.

Mandy Vaughn has deep ties in the commercial space industry. Up until recently, Vaughn was the President and CEO for VOX Space, sister company to Virgin Orbit. She’s now an advisor for VOX, while taking time to start her own business, GXO, Inc.

Recently however, she has been appointed to serve as chair for workforce development at the National Security Space Association. She spoke to The Space Hour about how excited she is especially for this role, since creating the workers for tomorrow’s space industry is the only way to keep building on its continued momentum.
