"The first time you see what NovaWurks has re-imagined for the new design of satellites, you think, 'That's amazing!' The second time, you ask yourself, 'Why aren't all satellites made this way?' I expect they will be. We are delighted to have NovaWurks with us as a FiReStarter this year and hope that other design teams are inspired by its work to include biological principles in the most advanced systems," said Mark Anderson, FiRe Chair and CEO of the Strategic News Service.
