The Space Boom Is Just Beginning

But I would say that, you know, more generally, 50% of our business is commercial and 50% of our business is government.

Prof G Markets
The Space Boom Is Just Beginning

And, you know, on the commercial side, it's Earth observation and communications.

Prof G Markets
The Space Boom Is Just Beginning

And then on the government side, it's national security missions and then also civil stuff.

Prof G Markets
The Space Boom Is Just Beginning

So, you know, we built a couple of spacecraft just recently and they're on their way to Mars for NASA.

Prof G Markets
The Space Boom Is Just Beginning

So all sorts of interesting things.

Prof G Markets

Maybe we start a little bit higher up in the fact that space is just infrastructure, really.

And so there's a whole bunch of infrastructure in orbit, whether it be GPS or communications or observations that everybody uses in their everyday lives, but just sort of doesn't realize it.

Prof G Markets
The Space Boom Is Just Beginning

And I think if you want to break it down into the most simplest forms, you have Earth observation,

Prof G Markets

And that can cover all different spectrums, whether it's visible light or non-visible light or RF.

Prof G Markets

And for mom and dad at home, that's like weather.

Prof G Markets
The Space Boom Is Just Beginning

So how do I get satellite weather?
