In this episode of HELLO FUTURE, host Kevin Cirilli talks with Damian DiPippa, the CEO of Auria.
Auria just won a big new contract with the U.S. Space Force. The project is called JAM, which stands for Joint Antenna Marketplace.

Satellites are like robots high up in space. They need to talk to big antennas on the ground to get messages and send back pictures and information. Right now, this can be slow and hard to schedule.
JAM is like a smart online store in the cloud. It quickly connects the people running satellites with antennas all over the world. This makes talking to satellites much faster, easier, and more reliable.
Damian explains why this matters now — there are thousands of new satellites in space, and we need a better way to stay connected.

JAM helps America keep its satellites working safely and smartly. This is one of the coolest new ideas happening in space right now! It turns regular antennas into a fast, flexible team that helps our satellites do their important jobs.
