Today, in our series finale, our host Dallas Campbell is sitting down one-on-one with the CEO of the Satellite Applications Catapult, John Abbott.

We dive into John’s career journey and what inspired his entry into the space industry, eventually leading him to helm the Catapult. Alongside his vision for our future, we explore the role of collaboration - bridging efforts with government, non-space industries, and academia - in driving innovation and growth.

From fostering talent to building cross-industry partnerships, this conversation will shed light on the strategies shaping the future of space exploration and commercialisation.

Thank you for joining us for this series of In-Orbit – we’ll be taking a short break, but we'll be back soon with a brand new series.

In this episode of In-Orbit, we're discussing space debris and the challenges it presents to the space sector.

There are many layers to consider when talking about space debris, including where it comes from, how it impacts future space missions and satellites, as well as clean up technologies and legal implications. Do we need regulations in place to ensure space debris doesn’t affect our ability to explore space in the future?

Our host, Dallas Campbell, is joined by Gary Cannon, Space Segment Lead at Satellite Applications Catapult, Pat Mathewson, Head of Business Strategy and Analysis at Astroscale, and Valentin Valhondo, Program Manager at ClearSpace.
