AND YES, A CRUDE
COMMERCIAL, A SPACE
FLIGHT AFTER WE SAW THE SPACE
SHUTTLE PROGRAM RETIRED JUST
ABOUT A DECADE AGO IN 2011 WHAT
SPECIFICALLY IS YOUR ROLE WITH
THE SPACE COMPANIES.
>> WE SEE THIS THE NEW
SPACE ECONOMY IS YOU KNOW VERY
SIMILAR TO WHERE THE INTERNET
WAS IN THE VERY BEGINNING WHERE
THERE ARE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
POURED IN TO INFRASTRUCTURE AND
WE'RE SEEING THE SAME THING
HAPPENED TODAY IN SPACE WITH.
THE LIKES OF SPACE X ROCKET
LAB'S AND A LOT OF LAUNCH
TECHNOLOGY LOWERING THE CAR
COST OF ACCESS TO SPACE SPACE
NETWORKS AND LOW COST
SATELLITES SO
WE ARE. WE ARE REALLY A
PLATFORM THAT'S TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF ALL
THAT INFRASTRUCTURE. AND WE'RE
ABOUT SPACE DATA ANALYTICS SO
WE'RE GOING TO BE CHANGING THE
WAY PEOPLE SEE AND UNDERSTAND.
OUR WORLD AND WE'RE GOING TO
PUT THAT INTO THE INTO THE
HANDS OF THE DECISION MAKERS
ACROSS THE RANGE OF INDUSTRIES.
>> OKAY, SO WHAT I'M GATHERING
HERE. BRIAN IS THAT IT COMPANY
SPACE X
FOR INSTANCE, HOW MANY DO THEY
LAUNCH YOUR SATELLITES YEAR
IMAGERY IN INTO SPACE, HOW
EXACT WE DO WORK WITH THESE
COMPANIES WHICH ONES DO YOU
WORK WITH TO ACCOMPLISH
YOUR GOAL.
>> WE WERE BUT THE RAIN TO
LAUNCH PROVIDERS SPACE X IS A
PARTNER ROCKET LAB'S
THERE'S OTHERS.
>> WE'RE CURRENTLY ON A PATH TO
LAUNCH AND OPERATE OVER 30
SATELLITES.
>> GIVING US A REAL TIME EARTH
OBSERVATION. CAPABILITY
BUT WHAT WE'VE DONE AS A
COMPANY IS WE HAVE A
PROPRIETARY
SPACE NETWORK. AND WE HAVE AN
AI ENABLED SAS PLATFORM THAT
BRINGS THAT DATA DOWN COMBINED
WITH OTHER INFORMATION
MAKES THAT AVAILABLE TO
CUSTOMERS AROUND THE WORLD FOR
A VERY SIMPLE USER EXPERIENCE.
>> SO TALK TO ME ABOUT ON THE
DATA MORE ABOUT THE DATA AND
THE EU ARE GREEN THAT IS UNIQUE
TO YOUR COMPANY, WE KNOW THERE
A LOT OF SATELLITES ALREADY
IN SPACE. BUT THE UNIQUE DATA
YOUR BY PAIRING WITH COMPANIES
LIKE SPACE X ROCKET LAB'S WHAT
IS IT.
>> SO WE WE
ARE NOT A TRADITIONAL SATELLITE
MAPPING COMPANY WE ARE WE ARE.
DEVELOPING DATA PRODUCTS THAT
ARE REAL. WHERE
OUR PROPRIETARY
SENSOR NETWORK IS SET APART IS
WE
CAN MONITOR. LOCATIONS AT VERY
HIGH FREQUENCIES THAT THEY GIVE
US THE ABILITY TO SEE THINGS AS
THEY'RE HAPPENING ON THE GROUND
AND UNDERSTAND CHANGE AND
CHANGE THAT MATTERS MOST TO HIM
OUR CUSTOMERS THIS IS
THIS IS A COMPLETELY NEW TYPE
OF THAT'S BEING AVAILABLE TO
THE
MARKET AND BUT ALSO MORE
IMPORTANTLY IS THROUGH
OUR SASQUATCH CUSTOMERS CAN
MORGAN THEY CAN POINT AND CLICK
CHASKA SATELLITE CAN GET AN
IMAGE BACK IN 90 MINUTES FOR
PUTTING THE DIRECTLY IN THE
HANDS OF USERS ACROSS A RANGE
OF INDUSTRIES THAT EXTEND FROM
ENERGY TO INSURANCE. DUE TO
CONSTRUCTION.
>> NOW WHAT ABOUT
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, IT WOULD
SEEM LIKE SOME OF THIS IMAGERY
COULD IN COULD BENEFIT THE
GOVERNMENT.
>> THE GOVERNMENT IS A VERY
LARGE MARKET WE'RE VERY
PROUD TO I HAD THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT AS WELL AS
GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE WORLD AS
CUSTOMERS THEY RELY ON OUR OUR
DATA SERVICES
EVERY DAY. AND AND THAT IS A
VERY STRONG CUSTOMER BASE FOR
US IT GIVES US
CLEAR REVENUE VISIBILITY INTO
OUR GROWTH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
YEARS OFF OF THAT BASE BUT
THE COMMERCIAL MARKET IS IS
ALSO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND
WE'RE SEEING THAT EXPAND VERY
RAPIDLY.
>> SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS TO
YOU BRIAN, I KNOW YOU MENTIONED
YOU'RE ON THE PATH TO LAUNCH 30
SATELLITES ARE THERE ANY
SATELLITES CURRENTLY IN ORBIT
RIGHT
NOW AND ON TOP OF THAT WHEN IS
THE NEXT LAUNCH SCHEDULED FOR
YOUR SATELLITES.
>> AS WE HAVE WE HAVE 6
SATELLITES IN ORBIT TODAY.
I WANT TO PACK TOO. GET 14
OPERATIONAL BY THE END OF THIS
YEAR. WE ANNOUNCED A DEAL WITH
A ROCKET LAB. AND THEY'RE GOING
TO BE
LAUNCHING THAT 3 SUCCESSIVE
LAUNCHES COMING UP HERE IN THE
FALL. 2 SATELLITES ON

AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. ON THE
DEPLOYMENT OF OUR CONSTELLATION
THIS YEAR.
>> BY THE END OF THIS YEAR WE
WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO
MONITOR LOCATIONS AT A AT ABOUT
A ONE HOUR FREQUENCY.
>> LET ME ASK YOU I THINK
THERE'S THIS BATTLE OVER SPACE
RIGHT THERE SO MUCH INFORMATION
OUR ABLE TO GLEAN IN SPACE AND
I THINK THAT YOU KNOW BIG
REASON.
THAT'S BASIC IS TO GIVE
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO SOME
EXTENT IN EDGE WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT THE GLOBAL SPACE RACE AND
OF COURSE ACTUALLY SHUT ALL
FROM A U.S. DATE FROM
US SOIL. ASTRONAUTS TO THE
SPACE STATION WHETHER THEY'RE
CIVILIANS ARE TRAINED
ASTRONAUTS.
HOW DO YOU
DETERMINE WHEN OTHER COUNTRIES
ARE LOOKING TO WORK WITH YOU AS
A U.S. BASED COMPANY WHAT SORT
OF BUSINESS YOU TAKE ON AND
WHAT SORT OF BUSINESS YOU MIGHT
NOT TAKE ON.
>> WELL THE REMOTE SENSING
INDUSTRY
HAS BEEN SELLING SATELLITE
IMAGING SERVICES TO THE
COMMERCIAL GOVERNMENTS
FOR DECADES. SO THERE IS WELL
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT OVER
THAT AND OF COURSE WE ONLY WORK
WITH NATION STATES THAT ARE.
FRIENDS AND ALLIES OF OF OF
