Beyond Earth
Building the Logistics Network in Space
As space becomes the next operational domain, logistics is rapidly emerging as the critical enabler of both national security and commercial growth. In this episode of The Logistics Lens, Kevin sits down with Adam Merchant, Chief Revenue Officer at LEAP, to explore how space logistics is evolving from concept to capability.
Reshaping Modern Space Logistics
Adam explains why logistics in space extends far beyond launching rockets. From moving satellites between orbits and servicing spacecraft to delivering critical cargo anywhere on Earth in under an hour, the conversation highlights how commercial innovation is reshaping military sustainment and humanitarian response. Together, they discuss rocket cargo, in-space refueling, orbital infrastructure, AI-enabled logistics planning, partnerships between government and industry, and why today's logistics professionals have an opportunity to help define an entirely new field. If logistics has always been about delivering the right item to the right place at the right time, this episode explores what happens when that place extends beyond Earth.
