Dave Masten and Michael Mealling were the special guests for this program which focused on the entrepreneurial company, Masten Space Systems (www.masten-space.com). Michael began the discussion by providing us with introductory information about Masten Space Systems, then he told us about their exclusive program, SodaSat. You can fly your own payload including your own scientific experiment on their rocket in a container such as a soda can or larger. Check it out at their website.
Michael Mealling was the guest for this Space Show program. Michael began the interview discussing the Masten Space Systems development of their VTVL launch vehicle, the XA 1.0.
