“We are pleased to have Planetary Resources on our Board,” stated CSF President Michael Lopez-Alegria. “We have been working with their team for almost two years now, and have seen firsthand the dedication they have to the advancement of the commercial space sector. I look forward to our continued partnership.”
“CSF is the go-to association for the commercial space industry,” said Planetary Resources’ President and Chief Engineer Chris Lewicki. “As we prepare to launch and test our technology demonstrator, the A3, in low-Earth orbit next year, we look forward to working with the CSF team to continue to promote the importance of this multi-faceted industry.”
Planetary Resources was founded in 2009 by Eric Anderson and Dr. Peter H. Diamandis. Their vision is to establish a new paradigm for resource utilization that will bring the Solar System within humanity’s economic sphere of influence. The company will conduct low-cost robotic space exploration beginning with the Arkyd Series of space missions that will identify the most commercially viable near-Earth asteroids. These initial missions will assist in enabling the retrieval of raw materials from these select asteroids, including water, precious metals and more.
