With support from NASA, the company built a new and different kind of doorway into space.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>The Nanoracks Bishop Airlock Module will serve as another door to space, helping to move larger payloads inside and outside the station. This will alleviate one bottleneck slowing down the deployment of new small satellites and CubeSats from the space station. Bishop will also significantly increase the amount of research that can be done in low-Earth orbit \u2013 research that helps us better understand the space environment but also has implications for Earth imaging, medical research, and biomanufacturing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lCtm9mbNN4o?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>** <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespaceshow.com\/show\/22-nov-2020\/broadcast-3608-rob-ronci-trent-tresch\">Sunday, Nov.22.2020<\/a> &#8211;\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespaceshow.com\/guest\/rob-ronci-trent-tresch\">Rob Ronci<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespaceshow.com\/guest\/rob-ronci-trent-tresch\">Trent Tresch<\/a> talked about &#8220;<em>for news, updates, and policy discussions regarding\u00a0 the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caelusfoundation.org\/\"><em>Caelus Foundation<\/em>&#8220;<\/a>, which\u00a0 advocates &#8220;<em>for broad participation in the space domain and to engage and empower people around the world to build a space-centric community through their decisions and actions<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-23166-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3608-BWB-2020-11-22.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3608-BWB-2020-11-22.mp3\">https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3608-BWB-2020-11-22.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>** <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/show\/17-nov-2020\/broadcast-3605-dallas-bienhoff\">The Space Show &#8211; Tuesday, Nov.17.2020<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/guest\/dallas-bienhoff\">Dallas Bienhoff<\/a> discussed cislunar development and also &#8220;<em>possible ideas for the new administration and NASA, Artemis, Mars, returning to the Moon, space tugs, the Gateway, private sector advances, and much more<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-23166-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3605-BWB-2020-11-17.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3605-BWB-2020-11-17.mp3\">https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3605-BWB-2020-11-17.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>** <strong>Cislunar, Proliferated Leo and Accelerating Innovation<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCYK0SBdyQCSheGp4EJt_7lQ\" target=\"_d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Constellations Podcast &#8211; YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Listen to Colonel Eric Felt talk about what the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) is doing to keep the U.S. competitive edge in space.

Col Felt reflects that the growing interest in cislunar and XGEO comes down to commercial activity, resources and political advantages. He said there are cost and performance advantages coming from proliferated LEO and that every mission in the future that can be done from LEO will be done from LEO. With so many thousands of satellites going up, a high level of automation will be essential for their management; however, there will be limits to this kind of autonomy \u2013 especially in a war fighting scenario.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/csx4TCT5f0c?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>** <a href=\"https:\/\/www.list.lu\/en\/news\/luxembourg-teams-up-with-esa-to-create-a-unique-european-space-resources-innovation-centre-to-be-e\/\"><strong>Luxembourg teams up with ESA to create a unique &#8220;European Space Resources Innovation Centre&#8221; to be established in the Grand Duchy<\/strong> | Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Luxembourg just entered a strategic partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) to create a \u201cEuropean Space Resources Innovation Centre\u201d, or ESRIC.
