Is space really the final frontier or just the next business opportunity? In this episode of Everything is Logistics, Blythe Brumleve sits down with Kelli Kedis Ogborn, VP at the Space Foundation, to explore how the space economy has grown into a $570B+ global industry. They talk satellites, policy, infrastructure, commercial funding models, and the real-world logistics of scaling businesses beyond Earth.
Key takeaways:
• 78% of the space economy is driven by commercial revenue, not government programs
• Satellites are already transforming industries like agriculture, insurance, and freight
• Space infrastructure is being built with interoperability and logistics in mind
• Long-term capital investment is needed to turn space demos into scalable businesses
If you’ve ever wondered how your freight or data business could play a role in the growing space economy, this episode is for you.
