Earth used to have exactly one satellite: the Moon. Now there are thousands of man-made satellites orbiting our planet. With many more to come.
This conversation between Bulent Altan (Alpine Space Ventures and Mynaric), Walter Ballheimer (Reflex Aerospace), and Joram Voelklein (Alpine Space Ventures) explores the many possibilities opening up for business and society.
Joram Voelklein is a Founding Partner of Alpine Space Ventures, a venture capital firm that focuses on the European NewSpace sector. Previously he was involved early on in Mynaric, a company that produces optical communication terminals.
Walter Ballheimer is a German NewSpace entrepreneur and CEO of Reflex Aerospace, which delivers tailor-made small satellite platforms to its customers. Previously, he founded German Orbital Systems, the country’s first CubeSat start-up in 2014.
Bulent Altan is an Investment Partner of Alpine Space Ventures and CEO of Mynaric, a pioneer in laser communications for the space industry. He began his career as one of the first employees at the then newly-established SpaceX in 2004.
