The Next “Giant Leap” – How Industry, Technology, and People Move Off Earth to Create a New Economy in Space

About

The commercial space industry wants the government and the financial community to invest in building the infrastructure needed to expand the modern economy into space. This includes building new spaceports on Earth, space stations in orbit, and transportation corridors to the moon. To accomplish this goal, the space industry must first convince private industry, policymakers, and the general public that they will benefit from this investment.

• Why bring the global economy into space?
• What is the short- and long-term vision for the space economy?
• How will this be managed?
• How will interests be protected in space?

This is the first in a planned series of “Future Space Economy” webcasts designed to educate audiences about the opportunities, challenges, risks, and rewards of expanding economic activity off-world. This webcast series will highlight specific activities in space, ranging from healthcare, research, mining, tourism, and energy. This webcast is the “101” session to get you started!

John Moberly brings capabilities spanning technical network exploita-tion and algorithm development, space system development and space protection, and experience in the Intelligence Community and Federal programming, budget, and acquisition processes. As SVP for Space, he leads SpiderOak’s pivot to space leveraging the company’s zero trust and cybersecurity foundational capabilities and helps address the urgent needs of data and space network system security so that critical infor-mation dominance can be achieved with full data integrity.

John Moberly is the SVP for Space for SpiderOak. Space Cyber is the most critical vulnerability of our space systems and space-based net-works require different approaches than terrestrial cybersecurity and SpiderOak is uniquely positioned with our zero trust blockchain ap-proach to lead solutions to meet these architectural needs in space and ground segments as well as other unattended sensor architectures. Prior to SpiderOak, John led the US Federal subsidiary for LeoLabs, venture capital based startup building a global radar network capability to im-prove space domain awareness - another space enabling function like cyber. He previously led the Space & Intelligence Business Area for Ar-ete, a company with work largely focused on algorithms for weak signa-ture detection and AI/Machine Learning applications for GEOINT (Geo-spatial Intelligence) Systems, including developing a concept that won a “Prestigious Pitch Award” at the Air Force 2019 Space Pitch Day. He was also highly involved in NRO, DARPA Blackjack, Space Development Agency, and commercial satellite algorithm development focusing around on-board processing and weak/dim signature detection.

John also brings industry experience from Hughes Network Systems networking and satellite communications and General Dynamics Mission Systems leading business development for classified space and intelli-gence programs.

LTC (ret) Moberly retired from the Army after 20 years of which the last 12 years were as a space operations officer with tours in the NRO Ad-vanced Systems and Technology (AS&T) and as systems engineer on a highly successful project that provided a new source and method to in-telligence and worked other National Security Space efforts. His military career culminated in assignment to the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (AT&L), Space & In-telligence Office leading oversight of Intelligence Community Major Systems Acquisitions and Research and Development programs in con-junction with his Office of the Director of National Intelligence counter-parts.
