The space start-up from Dresden helps satellites to move autonomously. Now it's opening an office in sunny California and introducing its new head of sales.
Dresden-based start-up Morpheus Space is opening an office in Los Angeles with money from an early 2020s funding round that included Airbus Ventures and US intelligence venture capitalist In-Q-Tel.
Founders Daniel Bock and István Lörincz already made contacts in 2019 when they participated in Techstars Starburst Space Accelerator. The startup makes ion beam propulsion systems that allow satellites to move autonomously. According to the company, they are the world's smallest and most effective ion beam propulsion systems.
With the new office, the startup also gets a new sales chief, U.S. Marine and former adviser to Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, David Kalinske.
Los Angeles is important to Morpheus Space because it's home to potential investors as well as other space companies. But also talent that the company wants to attract, Kalinske told US magazine SpaceNews.
