On this edition of The Ex Terra Podcast, Tom Patton is joined by Grant Blaisdell, co-founder of Copernic Space, the space asset marketplace.

The Copernic Space Platform is the foundation by which users can buy, sell, and manage their space assets, whether that be ownership of real assets in space or their direct stake in financing space ventures. Each user has their own Space Vault where owned space assets can be accessed or sold commercially through the marketplace we call SpaceMart, where companies can register and place offers for their space assets. 

Registered assets in a user\'s Space Vault are represented by an NFT (non-fungible token) containing linked public metadata, with optional private data and API access points. User\'s registered assets can represent payload space, licensable assets (such as satellite data), or API\'s.

The commercial space industry is far more than megalithic companies with very deep pockets. It\'s actually a $500 billion industry full of many small and medium-sized players helping to develop new ways to generate value out of the vast potential of space.

On the podcast, Blaisdell talks about the launch of the Private Sale portion of the first-ever tokenized space payload sale. Hosted on the Copernic Space platform, the private sale enables companies and individuals to purchase space in Lunar Outpost\'s M1 MAPP Rover and send their cargo on it to the Moon in late 2022 by acquiring a tradable NFT(Non-Fungible Token).

Grant is located in Poland, and he and Tom also talk about the current situation in Ukraine, and some of the ways it is affecting space commerce in the region.

How does what happens in space affect your everyday life? The Ex Terra podcast is dedicated to introducing you to many of the interesting people involved in the commercial space industry, and taking you behind the scenes with many of the companies making significant contributions to the new space economy. The podcast is available on Anchor, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Breaker, Overcast, Pocketcasts and Radio Public.
