Andrew Parlock is the co-founder and CEO of Space Phoenix Systems, a Baltimore-based startup focused on revolutionizing space logistics. With a background in aerospace engineering and an MBA, Parlock combines technical expertise with strategic vision to address critical gaps in the space economy.
Space Phoenix aims to become the "FedEx for space," providing low-cost, rapid-turnaround services for delivering and retrieving payloads. Their flagship spacecraft, Hermes, is designed to be repairable and reusable, facilitating sustainable and efficient space operations.
Parlock's approach is inspired by the infrastructure providers of the 1849 Gold Rush, focusing on building the essential systems that enable commerce in space. He envisions Space Phoenix as the logistical backbone of the burgeoning $1.6 trillion low-Earth orbit economy.
