Paiload was founded by a scientist and an engineer who have spent most of their careers on the data-processing side of scientific space missions. Between them, Dallas and Linus have shipped operational products for NASA, NOAA, EUMETSAT, and ESA, across more than 60 satellites currently in operation.
Previously VP of Signals of Opportunity at Muon Space, and Director of Earth Observations / GNSS at Spire Global, where he built the commercial GNSS reflectometry program from first payloads to operational product delivery across 60+ CubeSats serving NASA, NOAA, EUMETSAT, and ESA. PhD in Aerospace Engineering Sciences from the University of Colorado Boulder.
Seven years at Spire Global as Lead Payload Software Engineer, leading a team of three to build and operate the payload software systems underlying scientific GNSS missions for NASA, NOAA, and EUMETSAT. Most recently contracted with Muon Space, where he developed the software and algorithms for their GNSS-R receiver. Based in Yokohama.
