0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The I'm Maria Vermazza's host of T-minus Space Daily, and this is AWS in orbit, automated satellite management with cognitive space.
0:43.3	Today we're bringing you the next installment of the AWS in orbit podcast series from the 40th Space Symposium.
0:49.2	In this episode, I'm speaking with representatives from Cognitive Space and AWS Space and Satellite,
0:55.3	and we're going to be speaking about automated satellite operations.
0:59.0	Gentlemen, welcome. Good to see you both. Let's start with a round of intros, please.
1:03.1	Dax, could you start?
1:04.1	Sure. My name is Dax Garner. I'm the CTO at Cognitive Space. I'm an aerospace engineer

1:51.3	engineer. So I was the first engineer there, just writing a whole bunch of software and getting

2:11.2	Also, aerospace nerd by trade. I do a little bit of cloud now.
