So yes, no? And if yes, can you give us a bit of a glimpse on which type of products you're working? Whoever wants to start.
12:45
Shall I start then? Um, I think we were talking about it a little bit earlier, but, um, the, the ability to maneuver in an agile way, in a persistent way in space, rendezvous proximity operations are, are seen as a dual-use technology in any case, or a dual-use capability in any case.
13:08
So we, we see that actually, as a space sustainability company, part of sustainable space is, is that defense of a, of a peaceful, safe environment.
13:22
So we use the technologies and the capabilities that we're building to do a couple of different things.
13:29
On, on the civilian side, it's how can we remove debris in order to make the, the sort of shipping lanes of space more safe.
13:40
But in a more defense type of environment, how can we utilize the capability that we have to ensure that critical national infrastructure that is operating in space, used by both defense organizations and non-defense organizations, is able to be, um, defended from bad actors in space, either intentional or unintentional.
14:05
It can be from debris, or it can be an intentional maneuver of another spacecraft.

To what extent are currently in-orbiting servicing and debris removal technology considered commercial instead of dual-use for potential threats? Um.
10:36
Why? What makes that the thing that you do?
10:41
Well, first of all, I think, yeah, thank you for the compliment.
10:47
I think if I have like a tiny little impact, then I'd be happy.
10:51
But you know, in my sort of day-to-day work, I've always been in externally facing roles.
11:00
And then my participation in these industry organizations has also sort of, let's say, added a couple of arrows to that quiver that have enabled me to see, let's say, the landscape much more broadly outside of my normal day-to-day role, which already has fairly broad scope.
11:25
But I've had a real opportunity to watch how different parts of the industry have been developing over the years, sort of where there's opportunities, and also maybe, you know, being able to sort of see where there's overlap that people who haven't had those types of positions might miss.
11:48
So, I mean, For me, if I can like use those roles to sort of bring people together, do business, change jobs, you know, grow the industry at large.

Um, for our industry, what do we do exceptionally well, um, industry wide and where, where do we have work?
