DESCRIPTION:What does it take to develop a new satellite constellation from
  the initial idea to the point of getting the funding to build it? And how
  are funding decisions actually made and are we really aware of what drive
 s our own decisions in life? Helena van Mierlo was the driving force behin
 d a constellation of satellites for wildfire monitoring which is slated fo
 r launch in 2029. She brings us on a journey of the eight years she spent 
 to turn this novel space-based wildfire monitoring service into a reality.
  Along the way you will be learning some interesting facts about wildfires
 \, satellites and her own career path\, but above all she will share with 
 us her lessons learned about what it takes to get your idea financed.\n\nC
