Show Notes
In this thought-provoking episode of the Generation Space podcast, we dive into the critical intersection of space access, defence, and national security. With defence budgets rising and geopolitical tensions intensifying, the need for rapid, reliable access to space has never been greater. Join host Leah as she speaks with two industry experts: Winnie, CEO of Auriga Space, a pioneering company leveraging electromagnetic acceleration to revolutionise satellite launches, and Rob, Partner at Seraphim, an investor dedicated to advancing SpaceTech solutions for national security.
Together, they explore how commercial space companies are stepping up to address the evolving needs of defence, the challenges of integrating space-based technologies into military operations, and the trends shaping the future of space security investments.
