160: Satellites & Earth Day with Exo-Space co-founder Mark Lorden

Happy Earth Day!  Satellites improve our life on Earth by providing valuable data about our incredible planet.  How exactly do satellites work? What kind of data do we need to improve, save, and protect our Earth?   Here’s your 1-0-1 on satellites! From how they work, how they acquire power, how they navigate in orbit, and how they help us all benefit from the data they provide back to us on Earth! Mark Lorden is our expert guide as the co-founder and Chief Business Development Officer of Exo-Space, where he and his team are working to leverage their expertise in A.I., machine vision, and satellite design to offer software and hardware packages that can withstand the harsh environment of space. Together, Beth and Mark discuss roller coasters, satellite hardware, CubeSats, how satellites can help us fight fires, space startups and how the public can actively participate in space innovation!   "To us, space presents the opportunity for the betterment of human society -- both on the Earth's surface, by gaining holistic awareness of activities and conditions to better inform policy and action, and in the depths of the universe, by expanding the frontiers of humankind. The development of the commercial space industry that's happening right now represents massive steps toward a better tomorrow."
