VeriPod webinar

Space is becoming more accessible than ever.
What used to be a domain gated by massive budgets and aerospace giants is now opening up to smaller companies, startups, and fast-moving engineering teams. The barriers are lower, the tools are better, and the supply chain—while challenging—is full of new, practical paths that weren’t available even a few years ago.

Join us for the first VeriPod live webinar as we explore what it really takes to enter the space hardware business today: how to navigate requirements, how to think about risk, and how to build reliable systems without the traditional aerospace overhead.

Our first guest is Danny Andreev of Sunburn Schematics, known for turning tough constraints into elegant and robust designs. Together, we’ll discuss how companies can successfully break into space projects, how to manage sourcing for mission-critical hardware, and how engineering teams can stay realistic while pushing into new territory.

We’ll touch on the engineering side—radiation, thermal conditions, derating, testing—but through the lens of making space projects achievable rather than intimidating.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• Why entering the space sector is more achievable today than ever before
• How to navigate the modern space hardware supply chain and avoid bottlenecks
• Practical sourcing strategies for space-grade and near-space-grade components
• What “good enough for space” actually means for smaller teams
• Key power electronics considerations (radiation, thermal, margins) without the aerospace jargon
• Testing, validation, and risk management for lean organizations
• Live Q&A with Danny Andreev
