The AI Podcast How Alex Fielding and Privateer Space Are Taking on Space Debris

The company is creating a data infrastructure to monitor and clean up space debris, ensuring sustainable growth for the budding space economy. In essence, they're the sanitation engineers of the cosmos.

Privateer is also focused on bolstering space accessibility. All of the company's datasets and those of its partners are being made available through APIs, so users can more easily build space applications related to Earth observation, climate science and more.

Privateer Space is a part of NVIDIA Inception, a free program that offers go-to-market support, expertise and technology for AI startups.

During the podcast, Fielding shares the genesis of Privateer Space, his journey from Apple to the space industry, and his subsequent work on communication between satellites at different altitudes.

He also addresses the severity of space debris, explaining how every launch adds more debris, including minute yet potentially dangerous fragments like frozen propellant and paint chips.
