About Jake Cornish

Throughout my career, I’ve enabled the launch and deployment of 350+ satellites to low-Earth orbit and beyond. I’ve worked with customers from all over the world ranging from commercial companies, sovereign space agencies, defense agencies, and universities to get their missions to space. I have integrated satellites on eight launch vehicles and deployed from rideshare missions, the International Space Station, lunar missions, and many more.A mission manager at heart, my speciality is taking spacecraft from paperwork to orbit. I lead satellite missions across every stage: integration, licensing, export, requirement tracking and launch and deployment execution. Beyond technical execution, I pride myself as a business leader with a deep understanding of the satellite and launch market. I drive sales strategy, customer engagement, and organizational growth with each team I support. Whether it\'s scaling a launch services team or navigating regulatory complexity, I am proud to bring my expertise and tenacity to every mission.
