Aerospace Advantage - Episode 306 - The Rendezvous

Congress Back in Session, Space Launch Surge, and Massed Modular Aircraft: The Rendezvous

In this episode, our team reviews what’s going on in our nation’s capital as we move into the fall and elections grow near. We also discuss the impact of munitions shortfalls, fighter procurement, and the newly proposed Massed Modular Aircraft. When it comes to spacepower, we discuss the Space Academy, honors for the Artemis II crew, and a surge in space launch. Our team wraps up exploring why the CSAR H-60W inventory should not be diluted.
