Host Emily Calandrelli delves into the world of satellites: from small cube-sized ones all the way up to large space crafts that orbit the Earth and document changes in our geography. Emily visits one of the largest satellite manufacturers in the world to see how satellites are made and tested for the rigors of outer space. Plus, a trip inside the cleanroom to get a sneak peek at the building of NASA’s ICESat-2.
