– USA, CA – Phase Four, the creator of the radio-frequency thruster for satellite propulsion, today announced the appointment of Jim Bridenstine to its Board of Directors.
As former NASA Administrator and former Member of Congress from Oklahoma, Jim Bridenstine provides Phase Four with a wealth of experience based on his leadership role at NASA and legislative efforts as a member of Congress who championed broad private industry support for United States aerospace and defense programs.
“We are honored to have a space visionary like Jim join our board,” said Phase Four CEO, Beau Jarvis. “Jim has been a strong advocate for the expansion of the commercial space industry and private industry support for government missions. I’m looking forward to working with him and thrilled that Phase Four will benefit from his extensive expertise in aerospace.”
“The American entrepreneurial spirit is setting sail on what President Kennedy called ‘the new sea,” said Jim Bridenstine. “In this golden era of space innovation, space sustainability is a challenge we must meet. As our generation continues to develop and industrialize space, Phase Four’s game-changing in-space mobility technologies will drive down costs, increase access, and maximize the utility and sustainability of Earth’s most valuable orbits. Phase Four is well positioned to impact national security and civil, commercial, and international space markets. I am excited to join the Phase Four board.”
