Jim Cantrell work experience

A career timeline built from the work history available for this profile.

Ceo And Co-Founder

Current

Tucson, Us

When people see a company like Phantom Space, they automatically assume that it’s a launch company, and it is, but it’s also much more than that... we offer launch services, but we are also a space applications company, offering spacecraft design and construction, and constellation launch and deployment. We work with our customers in imaging and data networks to design, build, and deploy their networks, and to develop and deploy our own proprietary constellations. We started Phantom Space because we saw an opportunity to increase the scalability and cost- effectiveness of getting to space, and because we wanted to remove entry barriers — like high costs to launch — for space applications. Ultimately, our goal is to open space to ideas that are currently benched due to cost, and to new ideas that would otherwise never be born.
