For the first time, this week’s Thursday Morning Conversation heads to Moscow, where I talk to Andrey Kirillovich, director of Integration Services and Projects at RSCC. Andrey is someone I am yet to beat at tennis, despite playing him multiple times. Putting sporting rivalries aside, we talk about everything from life in Russia under lockdown, “The Mandalorian,” “Masha and the Bear,” and of course a little bit of satellite. We hope you enjoy.

Via Satellite’s Thursday Morning Conversations are the newest way to learn about the latest news in the satellite industry. From interviews with industry leaders and discussions with newcomers in space and satellite to debates among Via Satellite staff and chats about the latest in sports and pop culture, TMC will be your go-to for a Thursday morning respite. Grab a coffee, sit back, and listen in every Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m. ET for the latest segment. And you can catch up on all of the previous TMCs right here.
