Stratolaunch gets new owner, a year after Paul Allen's death
Stratolaunch was advertised as a way to make launching satellites as routine as operations at an airport.over California’s Mojave Desert — and a year after billionaire founder Paul Allen’s death — the company has a new owner.
Testing and operation of the massive carrier aircraft will now be done in-house, Stratolaunch said. Previously, Mojave, Calif.-based Scaled Composites, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corp., built and test flew the plane. It’s unclear where Stratolaunch will do that work, but the company put up at least 10 job listings on LinkedIn in the last month for positions including systems safety engineer, test pilot and quality manager. Of those 10 jobs, eight were located in Mojave and two in Seattle.
With an air-launch platform, satellites could be launched from anywhere with a runway, industry experts have said. There would be less costly launch facilities. And launching rockets closer to the equator, for example, gives better access to many orbital inclinations.
