SpinLaunch

Still think satellites are too fragile to survive high-g environments? Think again! We’re excited to unveil our latest ruggedization milestone: spinning a Portland State University satellite to 10,000Gs! Partnering with PSU's satellite program, OreSat, we demonstrate the feasibility and process of ruggedizing off-the-shelf spacecraft. Learn how strategic design tweaks and a shift of engineering intuition pushed an existing satellite over the finish line, ready to be launched with SpinLaunch's revolutionary technology: https://lnkd.in/grFuW_jp Special thanks to the Andrew Greenberg, the entire OreSat team, and Portland State Aerospace Society!

It was a privilege to host General Michael Guetlein, Vice Chief of Space Operations, United States Space Force at SpinLaunch HQ last week. His commitment to fostering stronger collaboration between government and industry was clear, as was his vision for accelerating the deployment of innovative technologies to strengthen national defense and space capabilities. During the visit, we showcased SpinLaunch’s integrated tech stack of low-cost space services and explored how our solutions align with the mission to maintain U.S. defense and space superiority. We’re excited to continue working with our nation's defense agencies to drive innovation in support of these critical objectives.

Today, SpinLaunch enters a new chapter. We have announced a change of leadership where former COO David Wrenn has been appointed CEO to execute on the company's mission and bring our integrated tech stack of low-cost space solutions to market. “This leadership change is a natural progression for the company as it becomes laser focused on customer development and executing its go-to-market strategy,” said Dómhnal Slattery, SpinLaunch Chairman of the Board. “David has an exemplary history at SpinLaunch having spent the last nine years successfully helming various executive leadership roles across the organization. His deep understanding of the firm’s business and technology uniquely qualifies him to lead the team as CEO and oversee the continued execution of the company’s strategy.” https://lnkd.in/gsghziaZ
