We've all heard of Rocket Lab but now another Kiwi company is making an impact.
Auckland based Zenno Astronautics is partnering with a US company called Portal Space Systems which will use Zenno’s technology to launch their spacecraft into orbit next year.
It uses electromagnetics instead of using fuel to control the positioning of the craft.Co-founder and chief product officer Sebastian Wieczorek speaks to Guyon about how far – and how high - the company can go.
