Space pioneer opens new offices in Cornwall
Pioneering business Slingshot Aerospace is to open a new office in Cornwall.
The leader in satellite tracking, space traffic coordination, and space modelling and simulation, has announced the expansion of its international operations with the launch of Slingshot Aerospace.
The new entity will operate from Slingshot’s first international offices in Cornwall and London.
Slingshot will bring high-tech jobs to the UK with a focus on initially recruiting software engineers and data analysts to build out the data, analytics, services supporting Slingshot’s international business unit.
Melissa Quinn, former head of Spaceport Cornwall, will lead Slingshot Aerospace as the general manager of the new international business unit.
She is expanding her former role as head of Slingshot Seradata – bringing extensive experience in the space industry to a new role focused on Slingshot’s full portfolio of space operations solutions.
She said: “We are excited to expand our international presence in the UK and build upon the strong foundation laid by Melissa Quinn and the Slingshot Seradata team.
“This new business unit is well positioned to continue the momentum that we have established with government and commercial partners including the US Space Command’s Joint Commercial Operations cell, Astroscale, Spire, and most recently NOAA’s Office of Space Commerce.”
Slingshot new offices will strategically position the company to engage with key stakeholders in the UK space sector and across international markets including the European Union.
