"But while wireless services have the luxury of iterating as often as they want once they start signing up customers, space startups have to take things one launch at a time. Eascra BiotechFor making the International Space Station a pharmaceutical research labEascra has one of the most interesting worksites of any of this year's honorees: the International Space Station, where astronauts conduct research on developing nanoparticles to treat cancer and other maladies."
"Impulse SpaceFor bringing the space tug concept closer to commercial realityFounded by SpaceX veteran Tom Mueller, Impulse Space helps launch providers take their payloads farther with its Helios kick stage-which can send a satellite from low Earth orbit to geostationary orbit in a day-and its smaller Mira space tug. The company has raised $300 million and has won contracts from NASA and the Space Force to develop its platforms further."
"MobileXFor leveraging AI to resell wireless service as cheaply as possibleMobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) can look alike, especially when so many of them are now properties of the big three wireless carriers. But MobileX, which resells Verizon's network, stands out for extremely low rates, starting at $3.48 a month and maxing out at $24.88. Its secret weapon? The company applies AI to analyze patterns of use to match customers with the most affordable plan that fits."
Space and telecom industries are increasingly intertwined as satellite roaming for messages and data becomes a standard feature. Wireless services can iterate rapidly once they start signing up customers, but space startups must progress one launch at a time. Eascra Biotech conducts nanoparticle research on the International Space Station to produce uniform particles that can store mRNA drugs at room temperature. Impulse Space develops Helios and Mira space tugs to move payloads from low Earth orbit to geostationary orbit and has raised $300 million with NASA and Space Force contracts. MobileX resells Verizon's network and applies AI to match customers with extremely low-cost plans.
