Open Cosmos CEO Rafel Jorda Siquier on combining Earth observation, connectivity and IoT into one platform

Open Cosmos CEO Rafel Jorda Siquier sat down with SpaceNews host Mike Gruss for the latest Space Minds episode, covering the company’s intent to bring Earth observation, connectivity and IoT together into a single platform.

The conversation also looks ahead to what to expect in 2026, framed around how the platform approach could combine those building blocks rather than treating them as separate systems, including IoT connectivity solutions.

The discussion is part of SpaceNews’ Space Minds format, a weekly audio and video podcast featuring interviews with scientists, founders and experts, with new episodes released every Thursday on SpaceNews.com, YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The episode page includes sponsor messaging for Arcfield, which is described as a systems and digital engineering company based in Chantilly, Virginia, employing 2,200 professionals across 18 North America locations.
