What if the key to solving Earth-based challenges lies in space? In this episode of In-Orbit, host Dallas Campbell explores Connected Capability Networks (CCNs) with guests Simone Hartless, Phil Carvil, and Jessie Hamill-Stewart. Together, they unpack how CCNs are transforming the UK's approach to space innovation by linking experts from space and non-space sectors. From cybersecurity to pharmaceuticals and even cosmetics, CCNs are creating "actively curated serendipity," enabling collaboration across disciplines that wouldn't otherwise intersect.<ul><li>(00:00) - Welcome to In-Orbit</li>
