Marco Cross - Space From the Front Lines - Cold Star Project S02E92
Manage episode 332124751 series 2417569
Marco Cross recently completed his Masters degree in space engineering at Brown University, and is now Engineering & Commercialization Advisor at Cold Star Technologies. His experience includes developing and commercalizing products, chief engineer on satellite design projects, and commercial space launch.
Host Jason Kanigan and Marco Cross discuss:
Topic: SBUDNIC satellite
- Mission overview
- Learnings from building a multidisciplinary team
- Learnings from super lean/super fast construction
Topic: Lightweight hardware prototyping/process
- Industrial design process in the context of mechanical/space engineering
- Use what’s available, not what’s theoretically best
- Prototyping always starts with good learnings up front -I’ve seen a lot of people fail because they get super far down the process without front-end validation
Topic: Selling space, talking about the dream of exploration
- Why selling the idea of space is important
- NASA budgets are shrinking relative to GDP
- Is space recession proof?
Topic: Future of space engineering as I see it
- Smallsats take over large satellites
- More COTS -Constellation-based sensing overtakes large singular sensing systems, like JWST
- Machine learning processing necessary for interpolation of data
- Future areas that need articulation/opportunities for innovation in space.
