We are indeed talking about the burgeoning sector that is often referred to as NewSpace, which is made up of universities, research institutes, agencies and commercial companies. The idea is to use our network in the Cubesat/PocketQube community to prove the benefits of integrating the spacecraft design phases, ultimately leading to more robust designs and cost savings. It's also a sector that is highly fragmented at the moment, with parts suppliers popping up all over the world.
If we reach the target of proving the benefits of our open stack, I think large industry players will have to take note. We've had some discussions with the likes of Airbus DS in Europe and the sales cycle is very long, but not impossible.
The mission that we're on is really to open up the sector to completely new applications and teams. We want to expose the tools and technologies that are needed, so that it's not just a select few that can reap the benefits of space technology and infrastructure.
