In this episode of Hello Future, Peter Krauss — the President and CEO of Terran Orbital — answers that question and shows how small satellites are getting us ready for the future. We start with NASA’s CAPSTONE mission. This tiny satellite is acting like a scout, testing a special orbit around the Moon so astronauts can safely travel there on the Artemis missions.

Then Peter explains the big change happening closer to Earth. Instead of one giant satellite, the U.S. military is building huge groups of smaller ones. Terran Orbital just delivered all 42 satellite buses for the first batch, called Tranche 1. These many small satellites work together to make communication faster, stronger, and much harder to break. Peter also talks about what’s coming next with Tranche 3 and how these satellites will help keep our country safe.

HELLO, FUTURE with Kevin Cirilli is the daily podcast where tomorrow’s biggest questions come alive. Are aliens already visiting us? Could your next job be in space? What if satellites could find lost cities, or stop the next wildfire? What happens if America loses the space race… or if every satellite went dark tomorrow? From Mars to UFOs, from flying cars to “civilization starter kits,” each episode blends science, technology, and imagination with the real choices shaping our world. It’s smart, fast, and curious, built for anyone who’s ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what comes next. This isn’t science fiction. It’s the future, knocking on your door.
