Aerospace engineering is facing a talent shortage as the industry expands and the number of qualified candidates lags behind. This is compounded by the expected exits of senior individuals, especially in the teades. payloadspace.com/report-propose…

Launch sites and their throughput capacity are a significant bottleneck in the space industry. Several projections forecast reaching 100% capacity within this decade due to the growing number of launches. payloadspace.com/the-uks-launch…

Congratulations to our friends at Voyager and its recent public offering. CEO Dylan Taylor is a long-time friend and a Phantom investor. payloadspace.com/voyager-ipos-a…

Launch vehicle reusability will be a feature of most successful future launch capabilities. Reusability primarily relieves supply chain pressure and logistics of building and resupplying large numbers of first-stage systems. payloadspace.com/honda-hops-reu…

The past few weeks have brought home the value of a robust missile defense system. It's a very complicated and expensive system to cover a nation as large as the US, and it will drive demand for commercial launches, satellites, and payloads. payloadspace.com/is-the-world-r…

DoD communications architectures are a creature of security requirements and, to some extent, the cold war threat. Remaking them into something akin to the 'modern internet' may be a bridge too far. spacenews.com/pentagon-strug…

Rent instead of building;d a satellite? Why not? Seems like a market yet to develop but an interesting concept. payloadspace.com/lux-aeterna-ra…

Phantom Space is pleased to announce that Worth Wray has joined us as Chief Strategy Officer! Worth is a proven entrepreneur and strategist who comes to us to guide Phantom's future product and customer strategies. Welcome Worth!!! kget.com/business/press…

We wish our friends at Firefly blue skies as they navigate the IPO process. Space launch is in short supply, and Firefly has a great vehicle. We estimate that there is room for many more providers like these in the market, which is growing strongly. payloadspace.com/firefly-files-…

The military's use of commercial space is expected to continue growing & become the dominant source of launches, satellites, & communications over the next decade. The US DoD will rely on suppliers with secure US supply chains, like Phantom Space. payloadspace.com/how-private-sp…

Golden Dome will require a massive increase in US launch capacity and will draw on capabilities from all capable US suppliers. The amount of launch required for Golden Dome deployment and sustainment is immense. payloadspace.com/is-the-world-r…

Will satellites become reusable, like modern automobiles, or more like cell phones, replaced & upgraded every 5 years? Experience favors the latter due to the relatively high cost of satellite launch compared to the satellite's replacement value. payloadspace.com/lux-aeterna-ra…

Phantom CEO Jim Cantrell sat down with Jacob Watson-Howland to discuss the future of space, the origins of SpaceX, and what we are doing at Phantom Space! youtu.be/vkJ2gN2HJfo?si…

Iceye provides unique data sets from space that can see through clouds night and day. Such capabilities produce untold value for us on Earth, dealing with natural disasters, urban planning, and agriculture. payloadspace.com/inside-iceyes-…

Hubble will place a constellation of satellites that can talk directly to bluetooth enabled devices direct from space. Soon, the entire Earth will be networked together linking computers, IOT devices and the watches on your wrist. payloadspace.com/hubble-network…

Just like the Civil Reserve Air Fleet can commandeer commercial airlines, future DoD space operations will utilize commercial space capabilities in times of national emergency - especially Space Lift. spacenews.com/space-force-re…

Both York Space and Atlas are friends of Phantom Space. We are pleased to see this acquisition take place and wish the combined venture the best of luck. spacenews.com/york-space-par…

Phantom Space is pleased to announce the addition of Chris Cosby to our Board of Directors. Crosby founded and scaled Compass Datacenters into one of the world’s premier providers of modular, mission-critical data center infrastructure. Welcome Chris! ow.ly/tVMu50WxMky

Space launch is currently undersupplied. Future launch markets will require a more diverse supplier base, less regulation, and increased range throughput. The space industry is headed for a crisis if these issues are not addressed. payloadspace.com/what-is-the-fa…

Congratulations to our friends at SpaceX on Starship’s remarkable 10th test flight. Once again, Elon has disproved the naysayers and brought our civilization one step closer to Mars. space.com/space-explorat…
