He went on to found&amp;nbsp;CesiumAstro&amp;nbsp;10 years ago, which is now at a pivotal moment in its growth journey. He joins On Orbit this week after&amp;nbsp;the company recently raised $270 million&amp;nbsp;and secured $200 million EXIM financing to build out its manufacturing capabilities in Texas under the \u201cMake More in America\u201d initiative.       In this interview, he shares his deep passion for building in America, and how he sees a crucial link between strong commercial competition, resilient supply chains, and defense readiness. Sabripour also talks about how CesiumAstro has methodically grown from providing software defined radios to now, full-scale missions and previews the launch of the company\u2019s first Element satellite, targeted for later this year.
