Disney star Bridgit Mendler has ventured into the space industry with the launch of her satellite startup, Northwood Space. The company’s primary objective is to create a data highway between Earth and space by mass producing teleports that connect terrestrial servers with satellite networks. This endeavor was sparked by Mendler’s lockdown hobby of building antennas and receiving data from NOAA satellites.
Mendler’s Northwood Space aims to make the exercise of sending data to and from space easier, addressing the difficulty in finding access points for contacting satellites. The company’s innovative approach to creating a seamless connection between Earth and space has garnered significant attention and secured substantial funding.
