EnduroSat has appointed Simon van den Dries as the Head of its Space Services sales team as of March 1, 2024. Simon brings more than 24 years of experience in the space industry, having worked with Spire as VP of Business Development Space Services, as well as SES, GE, and Honeywell.
EnduroSat kicked its Space Services into high gear last year, raising capital to scale, securing Vyoma as a new customer in situational awareness missions and signing missions for space exploration and remote sensing.
Raycho Raychev, CEO and Founder of EnduroSat, said, “EnduroSat has been working hard to make space more accessible. We strive to empower companies and research organisations to obtain high-quality space data. By streamlining the development of satellites, their operations in orbit, and by providing fixed and clear pricing, our team is enabling more missions to reach space.”
“EnduroSat is a highly driven company with a strong vision to streamline commercial access to space for the global market. The company has made the traditionally complex and protracted process of sending a satellite in space into a straightforward and rapid experience for international customers,” said Simon van den Dries. “I’m excited to join the team and usher EnduroSat’s in-space capabilities into the next era of Space Services.”
A proud member of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) and Endeavor Network, EnduroSat is one of the fastest-growing space companies in Europe and attributes its successful growth to its team of 180+ leading engineers, technologists, and scientists from 10 countries. The company is proud to support teams who are trying to push the status-quo in space and who bring tangible value back to Earth.
