Leveraging ‘Old Space’ experience to drive NewSpace progress - aka knowing when not to reinvent the wheel - with NewSpace Systems
In this episode we speak with James Barrington-Brown, CEO of NewSpace Systems - a space industry manufacturer with facilities in South Africa and the UK.
NewSpace Systems has developed a strong heritage in the modern commercial space sector with hardware and services provided to more than 60 clients, including several national agencies. But this progress is a built on a foundation of expertise in so-called ‘Old Space’ industry – by applying lessons from working on missions and services in decades past.
And that’s what we talk about in the episode, including:
- What James thinks the terms of New and Old Space really mean
- The importance of effective, widely used standards in the industry, and the benefits these can bring to businesses
- The factors that need to be considered when determining the true total lifetime cost of a mission
- How manufacturers can meet high volume requirements without sacrificing quality
