摘要

For more than a decade, Eric Stallmer had been the head of government relations for Analytical Graphics Inc. (AGI), the face of the company in Washington. So it took many people by surprise last summer when Stallmer announced he was leaving AGI to take over as president of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation (CSF), an association of 50 businesses and organizations involved with various aspects of the entrepreneurial, or newspace, industry. Stallmer says he was attracted by a "wonderful opportunity" to take the helm of an organization during a dynamic time for the industry, with many companies actively developing everything from small satellites and suborbital launch vehicles to spacecraft to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station. Those companies have made significant progress, but have also suffered from delays and setbacks. It was also an opportunity for Stallmer to return to this industry: Prior to joining AGI he was president of the Space Transportation Association during another era filled with space launch startups and companies planning constellations of hundreds of communications satellites. He believes that this new wave of such ventures is different, citing the greater technological capabilities of the companies in the field, as well as a surge of outside investment into those companies.
