Peter Platzer, CEO of Spire

Glasgow makes more satellites than anywhere outside the US - and here's the reason why!
Dr Murray Collins and Kim McAllister chat to Spire founder and chief executive Peter Platzer. 
Spire builds and manages a constellation of nanosatellites from six offices across three continents. The Glasgow office is where the satellites are built, and plans to employ another 280 people in the next five years. 
Peter discusses why Spire chose Glasgow, why Scotland is uniquely placed to succeed in the space industry and why NASA is now working with Spire.
