Telecan Space founder Jean Paul Carnicer is on the Cold Star Project, and our topic is pitfalls in spacecraft bus engineering. With host Jason Kanigan, Paul answers:

• What’s the most important thing to keep in mind when designing a spacecraft bus? Is there something people NOT engineering the bus tend to forget or overlook when they’re coming up with design requirements?
• Who are the courses listed on the website for; what kind of person best benefits from them; what does the investment range look like?
• How common is outside testing of spacecraft? Do you find resistance to the idea of an outsider testing something they designed?
• Satellite Program Monitoring… how often are subcontractors holding up the project schedule? What issues do you typically find with the launch vehicle agency?
• In a world of engineers working to get funding to develop capabilities, what do you wish new founders would know about starting up a space business?
• What issues do you commonly encounter in contract negotiations with launch vehicle procurement?
