| 0:00.0 | This is John Bachelor. Bob Zimmerman introduces HEO robotics an Australian company |
| 0:06.0 | demonstrating its ability to take photographs of objects in orbit. |
| 0:10.3 | It takes a photograph of the ISS. |
| 0:13.0 | Bob will illustrate what else it can do and why monetizing low-Earth orbit, |
| 0:20.0 | eventually monetizing orbits of the moon and the Mars and onward. |
| 0:25.9 | Taking a photograph that simple but Bob shows what a technical challenge it is. |
| 0:30.8 | Very successful. |
| 0:31.8 | The ISS has never seen before from a private monetized |
| 0:35.8 | Australian company, HEO robotics. Congratulations ladies and gentlemen. |
| 0:41.1 | Here's Bob Zimmerman. No, here's Bob Simmerman. |
| 0:43.0 | No, there's something called the First Amendment. |
| 0:46.0 | They're not, you're not supposed to be able to tell anyone what they can photograph. |
| 0:50.0 | But this company, HEO robotics, they have satellites in orbit who were designed to take pictures of things in orbit for the case of tracking, for space junk catalyization, For things like damaged space satellites, |
| 1:04.8 | companies will want to know how it was damaged and why. |
| 1:06.9 | They can take photographs of it. |
| 1:08.5 | So to demonstrate their capabilities, |
| 1:10.1 | they've done this with those satellites before, |
| 1:12.0 | they took a picture of |
| 1:13.0 | I've got that picture posted on behind the block. It's kind of cool. You can |
| 1:17.3 | see the structure. You can see the main truss where the solar panels and the |
| 1:20.6 | radiators are. You see the the main habitable modules that go |
| 1:26.3 | at right angles to that you can see a saw use or progress freight |
