Seattle, WA / Delft, Netherlands – January 18, 2011:
Spaceflight Services (Spaceflight) and Innovative Space Logistics BV
(ISILaunch) announced today that they have teamed to create a global
spaceflight services provider for small and secondary payloads.
Spaceflight and ISILaunch currently offer spaceflight services on a variety of
orbital and suborbital vehicles for small and secondary payloads, with operations
centered in the United States (US) and Europe respectively. Under this joint
marketing agreement Spaceflight and ISILaunch will provide a global spaceflight
service for the launch of small and secondary payloads by jointly marketing a
combined set of products and services to prospective customers.
Spaceflight will be the lead organization for integrating prospective orbital and
suborbital payloads flying on US launch vehicles and suborbital platforms. In
addition, Spaceflight will be the primary interface for US companies that want to
fly on non-US launch vehicles.
ISILaunch will be the lead organization for integrating prospective orbital and
suborbital payloads flying on non-US launch vehicles and suborbital platforms, as
well as be the primary interface for non-US customers that want to fly on US
vehicles.
Jason Andrews, President and CEO of Spaceflight Services, said, “We are very pleased
to team with ISILaunch Services and provide a global service offering. They are a
demonstrated leader having contracted more than ten payloads in the past years and
successfully launched four satellites in 2009.”
Abe Bonnema, Managing Director of ISILaunch Services, said, “By joining forces with
SpaceFlight Spaceflight Services we have created the unique opportunity to connect
the dots between the different customers and flight opportunities worldwide.”
Continued Andrews, “The commercial rideshare approach Spaceflight and ISILaunch
offer provides truly revolutionary global space access at significant savings
compared to purchasing a dedicated vehicle. For certain payload sizes this is an
entirely new capability at a compelling price point.”
Spaceflight and ISILaunch are currently offering orbital flight opportunities to Low
Earth Orbit starting in 2011 and flight opportunities to Geosynchronous Transfer
Orbit and Low Lunar Orbit in 2014. For a full list of pricing for CubeSats,
NanoSats, MicroSats and ESPA spacecraft, please visit Spaceflight Services at
