• What is Benjamin Kellie's job title?

  Benjamin Kellie is a
  Founder of & CEO of The Launch Company. In short, we are working to solve the "go to market" challenges of the New Space race by standardizing launch hardware and operations. We believe that autonomous, standardized launch operations will increase resiliency and safety while dramatically lowering the cost of launches, opening up access to orbit - and beyond. Led the field design, construction, and initial operation of the SpaceX landing platforms "Just Read the Instructions"​ and "Of Course I Still Love You"​ from conception through multiple landing attempts. Previously a full-time Launch and Test Engineer at Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), responsible for development, construction, testing, and operation of multiple launch pad fluid systems as well as multiple other development projects. Served as Pad Lead Engineer for Flight 6, the inaugural flight of Falcon 9 v1.1, which was also the first flight from the Vandenberg AFB site. Completed a MSME at the Ohio State University in micro/nano fluid mechanics with applications in graphene synthesis. Earned two publications, including my thesis work "Deposition of few-layered graphene in a microcombustor on copper and nickel substrates,” which appeared in Lab on a Chip. BS in Mechanical Engineering from UAF. I served as the principal investigator investigating the arctic viability of a small-scale axial flux wind turbine of our own design. While at UAF, was also a co-designer at the Alaska Space Grant Program. Helped to develop the first and second "CubeSat"​ microgravity satellite prototypes which were tested at Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX aboard the "Weightless Wonder,"​ aka the "Vomit Comet." Also helped develop the Student Rocket Project (SRP-5), a NASA funded endeavor at Poker Flat Rocket Range, which studied the D-region of the ionosphere during aurora events. The Launch
