This week, we speak with Marc Bell, CEO and Co-Founder of Terran Orbital. Terran Orbital entered into a $1.5 billion combination with Tailwind Two Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:TWNT) in October of 2021.
Terran is building the world’s largest satellite manufacturing facility in Florida and it aims to be the first pure play space company that is vertically integrated all the way from its supply chain to the cosmos.
Tailwind Two Co-CEO and CFO Matt Eby also joins us to discuss the SPAC side of the transaction and its unique mix of financing tools. We also get into how to best evaluate space targets now that there are suddenly multiple publicly listed space ventures.
Give it a listen.
