We asked @bridgitmendler about the vision for @NorthwoodSpace. "We need a global network because satellites orbit the Earth, requiring contact locations everywhere." "Think like cell towers for your phone, you maintain connection by passing different towers." "@SpaceX is the gold standard, with hundreds of ground stations for global coverage and high capacity." "Our near-term goal is 500 sites for maximum capacity at key regions."

Another one – Northwood has raised a $30M Series A, led by Alpine Space Ventures and @a16z, with Also Capital, Founders Fund, and Stepstone joining as major investors to build the ground network for the industrialized space economy.  We will use this funding to expand into a 35,000 sqft manufacturing facility and deploy the first operational version of our global network of Northwood ground sites. Thanks for covering us @EdLudlow
