Speaker: Executive Roundtable: LEO/MEO Systems Five-Year Forecast

Dr. Ralph Ewig is the CEO of Audacy, a space communications service provider focused on delivering continuous connectivity in real time to owners and operators of satellites, launch vehicles, and other spacecraft. By deploying a network of MEO relay satellites and ground facilities, Audacy will provide the first commercially available inter-satellite data relay network, enabling seamless LEO coverage and always-on connectivity from ground to lunar orbit. Dr. Ewig founded Audacy in 2015 with two Stanford Aerospace Masters students while pursuing his Master's degree in Business Administration (MSx) through Stanford's Sloan Fellowship program.
Prior to Audacy, Dr. Ewig was at Aerojet Rocketdyne as the Vice President of Engineering managing staff at 8 sites across the continental US, executing programs in space, launch, missile defense, aviation, and energy. He was also a Mission Operations Engineer with Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), focused on the Dragon spacecraft for the NASA Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program, where he supported final spacecraft launch integration with a focus on RF communications and propulsion checkouts and was a console operator focused on communications during the first three Dragon spacecraft flights to the International Space Station (ISS).
