Team

We are inventors, designers, engineers, scientists, tinkerers, gamers, entrepreneurs, adventurers, activists, global citizens, architects, musicians, builders, writers, athletes and space nerds.

Our team worked on deep space optical navigation, led the production of Falcon 9 at SpaceX, flew the DART spacecraft as it crashed into an asteroid in 2022, built novel lunar landers and designed the missions for OSIRIS-REx and Psyche.
