The U.S. Department of Defense, through the NSTXL consortium-based S2MARTS OTA, has awarded Intel an agreement to provide commercial foundry services in the first phase of its multi-phase Rapid Assured Microelectronics Prototypes - Commercial (RAMP-C) program.

In this episode of CEO Talks, NSTXL Founder and CEO Tim Greeff is joined by Rocket Lab Founder and CEO Peter Beck as they discuss navigating the challenges on the horizon for space tech development, private/public partnerships for space innovation, and the future of space advancement.

Why is there such tremendous growth and opportunities for hypersonics? It is a foundation for maintaining national security. There's a lot to say about hypersonic technology today and its potential for the future.

The Space Enterprise Consortium (SpEC) recently awarded a $50 million contract to Orion Space Solutions for the Tetra-5 program. Tetra 5 is centered on resolving the obstacle of refueling in space and will play a critical role in extending the lifetime of spacecraft already in orbit.

As an offensive security professional, one can often face unique challenges compared to colleagues in the rest of the information technology space. After all, why wouldn’t you - hacking is scary stuff that you see the bad guys and anti-heroes do in movies, right?!

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is an assessment framework and certification program that determines what data an organization can work with. Specifically, it determines whether they comply with necessary security regulations to work with controlled and vulnerable information.

Vast opportunities exist in space. Low earth orbit holds the potential to revolutionize technology, with LEO satellites able to connect the world in ways that have never seen before.  

While the DOD, NASA, and other government agencies are starting to investigate rapid launch technology, many companies are already working on rapid satellite launch capabilities to deal with events on Earth as well as in space.

With under two hours to go until launch, NASA’s highly anticipated Artemis I space flight was postponed after a temperature issue was identified in one of its engines. The failure to the Artemis I engine may not have been avoidable, nor should it even be labeled a failure.

Space Enterprise Consortium’s (SpEC) presence within the small satellite community was apparent during the 2022 SmallSat conference in Logan, Utah. With prominent SpEC member signs in view, about 30% of this year’s SmallSat exhibitors are members of SpEC, a rapid contracting method that allows the government to quickly address emerging technology needs.

While we might still be missing flying cars, one thing is for sure. Robotics are the way of the future, and the technology of the future is quickly becoming the technology of today.

While the idea of artificial intelligence with computers dates back to Alan Turing in the 1940s, most of the terminology is quite recent and still growing.
