    In-space mobility with Portal Space Systems.

    Satellites haven’t changed much in their basic design since we started launching them in the 1950s. They go into their predetermined orbit, live to a short life expectancy, then burn up in our atmosphere on reentry. But what if there was a different approach that could help resolve limitations especially now that things are getting crowded in LEO? Portal Space Systems say they’re solving the need for mobility in space with their Supernova spacecraft. We find out more from CEO Jeff Thornburg.  You can connect with Jeff on LinkedIn, and learn more about Portal Space Systems on their website.
