Joe ReedHOST
It can take, couple of months and their their goal is to get that down to a month and um i think they will i think they will very soon so absolutely it's it's unbelievable actually when you think because for someone that is probably not familiar but to build a satellite the amount of different tests that has to go through is just incredible just for that one piece that one um vehicle itself so um you know it's it's unbelievable to think where we'll be in a couple years when you're

Robert SprolesGUEST
Joe, you're absolutely right, because these satellite vehicles, you don't get a second chance on them.

Robert SprolesGUEST
They go on this launch vehicle, they launch into space, they are deployed, and that's it.

Robert SprolesGUEST
If you forgot something, if you didn't test something, if there's a piece of code that's wrong, if there's a piece of hardware that doesn't work, that's it.

And when you look forward the next 12 to 24 months, how do you envision the business to grow? Is there any partnerships, milestones that you would like to achieve in this time?

12:33Robert SprolesGUEST
But it is, it is all the above, but the way I like to couch this is it is an infrastructure expansion.

12:41Robert SprolesGUEST
I mean, we all know the story, like whether it was the railroads, whether it was transatlantic shipping, you know, whether it was in air, airf- um, uh, airplanes and in air freight, goods move seamlessly around the surface of the Earth, you know, without us giving it second thought.
R
12:57Robert SprolesGUEST
And we're entering this era of where that happens to and from space, again, without us giving it another thought.

Robert SprolesGUEST
It started to be a, a, a niche and need in the industry, and it really, Exolaunch and a couple of others really pioneered what we do.

Robert SprolesGUEST
So at Exolaunch, whether it's, you know, a small one kilogram CubeSat or a large micro sat that's over one ton in size, you know, we have a path that gets that to space.

Robert SprolesGUEST
And how this happened as an industry, you know, if you rewind twenty years ago, thirty years ago, satellites were these very large, monolithic, um, extremely exquisite and expensive, um, v-vehicles that, um, you know, were launched, you know, a few times a year, not very, very often.

Robert SprolesGUEST
And there was a single rocket that launched a single satellite, and they were paired together, and nothing else went on that vehicle.
Pamela GayHOST
Instead, you have to worry about what does each specific rocket designs, um, well, what, what does their cargo area look like for this, that, or the other mission? What are the different platforms that you all are working to get things mated with right now?
