Introducing The Race to Near Space
Manage episode 399382596 series 3552413
The first man-made object was sent into space in 1957, kicking off a space race that changed our world. In the decades since, we’ve sent humans hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from our planet. We’ve kept satellites in orbit for dozens of years. We’ve even sent probes billions of kilometers into deep and interstellar space. But one region of near-space remains underutilized and under-explored, presenting our teeming world with a rare green field for innovation: the stratosphere. Meet the entrepreneurs, technologists, and companies behind the next space race – the one happening 20km above us in near-space.
The Race to Near Space is a podcast brought to you by the HAPS Alliance, a group of like-minded people, companies, and organizations working to harness the power of the stratosphere to better connect our world.
