How can operating in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) transform Earth observation, direct-to-device mobile connectivity, and telecommunications? How does VLEO solve the LEO problem of satellite collisions and failures creating space debris that lingers for decades? How do you solve the extreme engineering challenges of atmospheric drag, atomic oxygen corrosion, and continuous propulsion? And how is the UK positioning itself as a global gateway for this emerging space domain?</p><p><br></p><p>Join Alice and Jonners as they talk with Anatolii Papulov, CEO and Co-founder of New Orbit, about pioneering VLEO satellite platforms, high-speed experimental iteration, and bringing \"American velocity with European depth\" to the UK space ecosystem.</p><p><br></p><p><u>Contributors:</u></p><p><strong>Alice Bunn</strong>,&nbsp;President of UKspace&nbsp;</p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-alice-bunn-obe-fimeche-fraes-ceng-3b5141/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Dr Alice Bunn OBE FIMechE FRAeS CEng | LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/ukspace/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">UKspace: Overview | LinkedIn</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Jonathan Daves</strong>, The Karman Line</p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-davies-174673170/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jonathan Daves | LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.thekarmanline.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Karman Line</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Anatolii Papulov</strong>, CEO and Co-founder of New Orbit</p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/anatolii-papulov-3786541b9/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Anatolii Papulov | LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/neworbit-space/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">New Orbit | LinkedIn</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>Key topics covered:</u></p><ul><li>Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO)</li><li>Direct-to-device connectivity</li><li>Atomic oxygen corrosion</li><li>Electric propulsion systems</li><li>Self-cleaning orbits &amp; Space sustainability</li><li>Rapid iteration &amp; In-house testing</li><li>Sovereign space manufacturing</li><li>UK space talent &amp; Scale-ups</li></ul>","author_name":"Haymarket Media Group Ltd"}
