"I've spent most of my career developing and analyzing a variety of space systems from science to collection and communications. As I look out over the next couple of decades there are a number of technologies that are highly likely to impact our use of space. In particular quantum computing, quantum encryption, and space as communications infrastructure. Laser communications will be key infrastructure for all of these technologies and Archangel is well positioned to develop and provide this capability as the market emerges." says Ryan Frederic.



Our advisors have founded, funded, run and exited successful businesses. They bring a wealth of experience at the highest levels of aerospace, telecommunications and defense.
