Heard in 3 episodes across 2 shows since Aug 2026

The space ecosystem refers to the complex, interconnected network of public and private actors, technologies, and resources involved in the exploration, commercialization, and utilization of outer space. It encompasses government space agencies, commercial aerospace companies, research institutions, and the broader space economy that drives satellite communications, space exploration, and orbital infrastructure. In recent years, the ecosystem has transitioned from a state-led domain to a highly decentralized, commercialized environment often referred to as the "New Space" ecosystem.
