A new partnership between Globalstar, a satellite company, and the U.S. Army, looks to test and improve satellite technology that can be used for secret and secure communication in military operations. Specifically, they want to see how well new low-visibility satellite devices work in difficult environments where traditional communication systems might not be available or reliable. To find out more about this endeavor, I spoke with Henry Orejuela, head of Government Sales and Business Development for Globalstar.

There is certainly a lot of hardware falling in Low Earth Orbit at the moment. So much so that many are looking at leveraging new technologies for ways to decommission satellites, or even simply move objects out of the way to ensure there are no disastrous collisions. One new company that has taken on this challenge, Kall Morris Inc., who say they've recently successfully completed the first commercial capture of an unprepared object in space. To learn more about the tech behind the milestone, I spoke with Troy Morris who is Co-Founder and CEO of Kall Morris Inc.

As advancements are made in space, so to are they made in the nuclear armament fields. Maintaining global nuclear security you could say is one of the most important jobs for our international leaders, but with the two areas becoming more and more intertwined, it might help to have those in the nuclear security field learn more about space. That's what the Secure World Foundation is hoping to accomplish with it's new initiative. In partnership with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP), it recently announced a two year effort hoping to explore the growing intersection of space and nuclear security in order to strengthen cross-sector understanding and enhance strategic stability. To find out more, I had the pleasure of talking to Victoria Samson, who is Chief Director of Space Security and Stability at the SWF.
