## Resource

In today's episode, host Jeff Nosanov explores a very interesting offering by Meritable Solutions: a space product accelerator. With an interesting background crossing aerospace engineering and product management, Merritt and his team guide companies through the process of payload and other space product design, development, test, up to the launch pad. Accelerators are common across the software, biotechnology and even robotic product categories, but novel in the space sector. Merritt has designed a curriculum and process that standardizes complex and specialty processes so customers can focus on their specialized knowledge or technology.
