SAR for Sovereignty and Security: Inside Umbra's Mission Solutions Business With Jason Mallare

Over the past year, Umbra has expanded its business from operating a commercial SAR constellation to also offering Mission Solutions — where it develops bespoke and custom space systems for the U.S., and its partners and allies. This episode of On Orbit features Jason Mallare, vice president and general manager of Umbra's Mission Solutions business. Jason describes Umbra's culture as "customer-obsessed," and talks about how his team takes the learnings from operating its own constellation and uses that experience to help customers fulfill their own unique missions. Jason sees rising demand for space systems from defense and intelligence around the world, and explains why sovereignty is an important issue for these customers. This episode of On Orbit is sponsored by Umbra.
