🎥 This is a teaser of one of my favorite projects this year, which I had the pleasure of shooting, directing and editing. “If it doesn’t have to be a weapon first and foremost, then what is the best way to put stuff into space?” Longshot Space Technologies Corporation brings the smart idea of repurposing old technology as a solution for the growing demand for civilian access to space—a technology which, ironically, had failed as an instrument of warfare. ⭐️ Working with companies that challenge the status quo, bringing innovative ideas to life is really exciting to me. It is a thrill to tell stories that transform our ways of looking at the world. 💭 This project highlights one of my firmly held beliefs: we should always take a step back and question whether our set ways of doing things are really the best. It’s hard to break old habits and abandon well-worn routines, even when they limit our potential to adapt to our ever-evolving world . To reinvent these structures is to build stronger foundations—and, often, to open doors to something much greater. Sometimes the solutions are closer than we can imagine. 🔗 Watch the full version! https://lnkd.in/grpdyz6Y . . #spacelaunch #satellite #rentech

🚀 Big news for Voyager Technologies!

Sharing more news coverage of Maxar’s significant milestone, this time from SpaceNews.     We’re on track to launch the final two WorldView Legion satellites in early 2025—facilitating “dawn-to-dusk” collection capability that will cover 90% of the world’s population.     Our full constellation will enhance coverage to deliver even more revisits per day. Combined with 30 cm resolution, this level of precision + latency is game-changing for defense and national security applications.     Proud to be a part of a team that is enabling a future where near-real-time, actionable insights support operational success. Looking forward to seeing this expansion transform defense capabilities and the global intelligence landscape.      As Dan Smoot said, "We're ready to go"!    #SatelliteTech #EarthObservation #MaxarIntelligence #DefenseInnovation #NationalSecurity #SpaceTech
