Published: 19 Mar 2025

Serco Inc., a provider of professional, technology, engineering, and management services, announced today that the Company released a new episode of the Serco Technology and Innovation podcast, featuring Richy Gonzalez, Director of Space Strategy at Serco North America. Together with hosts Don Styer, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Serco and Michael Arce, Serco External Communications Manager, the discussion covers the evolving landscape of space exploration and Serco's role in supporting critical space missions.

Gonzalez highlighted the diversity of space-related activities, including Earth observation, position navigation and timing (GPS), and exploration. The trio also addressed the growing role of the commercial industry in space and the impact of technology. “What does the mission look like tomorrow and how is Serco going to be supporting that? Everything from on-the-fly code changes to an application to account for a new means of communication or a new sensor that's getting data,” noted Gonzalez.

Looking to the future, the team expressed excitement about Serco's role in supporting space missions, emphasizing the company's evolution alongside technological advancements. Gonzalez emphasizes the dual approach of the space industry: simultaneously maximizing the current capabilities of space technology for immediate benefits while actively pursuing long-term exploratory missions, particularly to Mars. "The space industry's strength lies in its ability to balance immediate advancements with bold exploration. While we continue to enhance current space services, our pursuit of Mars and beyond holds the potential for groundbreaking discoveries. Imagine a new mineral, found on Mars, powering CPU chips on Earth with unimaginable processing power. That's the future we're investing in. We're maximizing today while actively shaping a tomorrow filled with unforeseen possibilities."
