In this bonus edition of Space Minds, host David Ariosto moderates the panel “Mission to Market: The Evolution of CLPS” at the AIAA Ascend conference. We explore the future of lunar exploration at the intersection of technology, geopolitics, and commercial innovation through NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program.
We’ll unpack the transition from demonstration to regularization, the promise of lunar infrastructure, and the competition fueling both innovation and strategic national interests. From relaying data via lunar orbiters to shrinking 5G networks into pizza-box payloads, the conversation reveals how government policy, commercial viability, and science are converging to redefine humanity’s presence beyond Earth.
The Panelists
- Tim Crain, Chief Technology Officer, Intuitive Machines
- Tyler Mundt, Executive Vice President, Engineering, ispace US
- Thierry Klein, President, Bell Labs Solutions Research, Nokia Bell Labs.
