As space commerce continues to expand globally, a Baltimore startup that calls itself “FedEx for space” just made itself known in the industry.
Space Phoenix, which held its launch party at the end of August, is trying to make it easier for small and medium sized businesses and organizations to access space, per the startup’s cofounder and CEO Andrew Parlock.
Parlock envisions the firm being a third party logistics provider, he explained, at a low cost with a fast turnaround. He’s aiming to help people get their payloads — different instruments that can be used for communications, data collection or whatever needs to be delivered — launched and returned from space.
