Spacecraft are still limited to the amount of fuel they are launched with, which limits flexibility and poses long-term risks to the space environment. The company proved their concept during their mission to resupply water to the ISS, and they later launched the first commercial fuel depot into LEO.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Welcome to the T-Minus Overview Radio Show. In this program we’ll feature some of the conversations from our daily podcast with the people who are forging the path in the new space era, from industry leaders, technology experts and pioneers, to educators, policy makers, research organizations, and more. A common theme has emerged in the space industry- namely, space has a workforce problem and it hasn’t really figured out a way to fix it. The STEM movement promoting science, technology, engineering and math has grown in popularity but is STEM enough for growing the workforce in aerospace? And what does STEM educational outreach actually look like in aerospace, and what kinds of training can students get access to?
