Landspace is first ever to orbit with methane. Much ado about an explosion at Blue? Hanwha Systems enters the satellite internet game. Mothballs for Janus. We speak with Tom Patterson, Managing Director at Accenture, on advancements in post-quantum cryptography for multi-orbit satellite communications. And it’s the one year anniversary of the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope, so in honor of the Webbiversary, we also chat with NASA Astronomer Karl Gordon where he guides us through the new Webb image NASA released today.
