Space Madness Podcast Episode 73: Air Breathing VLEO Satellites
In this episode, Brandon Williamson discusses his innovative work on Vaxon Space, exploring the challenges and opportunities of VERY low Earth orbit propulsion, space environment sensing, and the future of satellite technology. We discuss the fascinating and dynamic environment at very low altitudes and how that creates novel challenges and opportunities for propulsion and long term operation. Of particular interest is how much the earth's atmosphere varies in density and even altitude in this region, and how we are ready to start operating spacecraft there. Brandon and I also connect over how each of our space careers were inspired by our grandfathers, which is a nice touch I really appreciate.

Space Madness Podcast Episode 70: Future Leader Spotlight on Ref Bari
Today's episode spotlights Ref Bari, a Brown University physics student who I think is a future leader to watch. He's already quite a leader at the university level, having herded the necessary cats to develop and submit a NIAC proposal! This is tough enough from a NASA center where these things happen routinely, but Ref made it happen as a student at a University where advanced space mission concepts are not an everyday thing. We talk about how he achieved that, navigating various team, institutional, and schedule challenges. Keep an eye on this guy!
