Jeff Parker and Bradley Cheetham

Jeff Parker (MAeroEngr’03; PhD’07) and Bradley Cheetham (MAeroEngr’11) co-founded Advanced Space, a startup that develops technology to enable sustainable exploration, development and settlement of space. In 2022, it launched the successful CAPSTONE satellite, which orbits the Moon.
“We love what we do, and Advanced Space lets us do it,” Parker said. “We have fully intended this company to be multigenerational: something that will outlast anyone here. How often do you get the opportunity to help define interplanetary missions, test out new navigation technologies, and inspire engineers all at the same time?”
