Um, what is fundamentally driving that surge in demand across commercial space, and how has it changed what scale means for space suppliers?

Brian IppolittoGUEST
So, um, a, uh, the, the growth in commercial space has really been the, the launch vehicle cadence.

Brian IppolittoGUEST
So, uh, if you look back, you know, 15, 20 years ago, uh, the United States was launching a handful of, of vehicles from, from US soils, um, annually, and now it's hundreds, right? So if you look at the, the, the mass to, to orbit, um, you know, US is, is definitely, uh, winning in that front.

Brian IppolittoGUEST
So, um, Moroda with, uh, partnership with various launch vehicle companies has really, uh, reaped the benefits there on, on, on the volume side of things.

Brian IppolittoGUEST
So when I first started as an engineer, uh, here at Moroda in 2010, I was assigned a program.

Um, for our listeners who are not propulsion engineers, can you first just ex- explain what functionality and performance Moroda's valves provide for launch vehicles and in-space propulsion systems?
