Constellations are the new infrastructure
Thousands of satellites now deliver broadband, image the Earth daily, track ships and crops, and relay IoT signals from everywhere. Mass production — satellites built like consumer electronics — replaced the era of one-off, decade-long spacecraft programs.
This is the largest employment pool in space: design, manufacture, operate, and sell the data. Software talent is as needed as aerospace engineers — a constellation is a distributed computing problem with rockets attached.
