Ep. 132: Sustained Maneuver for Defending in Space
What does the concept of dynamic space operations (DSO) mean and how might it impact the future of space operations and the way wars are fought? What are the mutual benefits of this type of sustained maneuver for other domains and for other sectors? What needs to be done to make DSO a reality technologically, politically, and operationally? In this episode, The Aerospace Corporation's Senior Vice President, Marty Whelan, and John Shaw, Lt. Gen., U.S. Space Force (retired), former Deputy Commander of U.S. Space Command, explore these questions and more.

Ep. 130: The Geo-economics of ISAM
According to the Outer Space Treaty, authorization or certification for launch is the responsibility of each launching nation, as well as continuing supervision in space. What are the competing national and international frameworks for this? How do standards and interoperability play into these policies specifically for in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM)? What’s the significance of both cooperation and competition while enabling the private sector? In this show host Colleen Stover talks to Dr Brian Weeden, Director of Program Planning for Secure World Foundation and founding member of CONFERS, and Karen Jones, space economist and senior analyst at The Aerospace Corporation’s Center for Space Policy & Strategy.

Ep.129: US National Strategies for ISAM
US leadership off-world is not guaranteed. What strategies are being employed at the national level to support in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) industry and technology? How is civil space working with commercial and defense space sectors to develop – and test – technology? What are the commonalities between it all and how is risk managed? In this episode Greg Richardson from The Aerospace Corporation and Executive Director of COSMIC talks to Trudy Kortes, Director of Technology Demonstrations
for NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate.
*COSMIC is the Consortium for Space Mobility and ISAM Capabilities, created and funded by NASA.

Ep. 128: Humans vs. Robots for ISAM
In the world of ISAM (in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing) what should we use humans for and what should we use robotics for? What have we learned from decades of their partnership and what can we bring forward into the future? Do we always need humans-in-the-loop? In this episode experts Martha Hess and Jerry Miller from the Aerospace Corporation’s Human Exploration & Space Flight Division discuss these questions and more.

Ep. 127: How Stuff Works: Servicing & Assembling in Space
Why do we want to service satellites rather than deorbit them? What do we and could we assemble and manufacture in space? What technologies exist and what are the biggest challenges to expanding a viable in-space servicing assembly and manufacturing (ISAM) economy? In this episode Colleen Stover hosts Aerospace experts Dr. Shannon Zirbel (Vehicle Engineering Department) and Brianna Andrus (Human Exploration & Space Flight) to talk about how stuff works in the world of ISAM.
