Founding Strategic Investors
ViviSat’s founding strategic investors are ATK Space Systems, one of the world’s leading aerospace companies, and U.S. Space, whose principals have played a vital role in the development of the satellite industry over the last three decades.
ATK brings to the ViviSat venture more than 30 years of satellite system experience and a 100% on-orbit satellite mission success record. ATK has operations in 24 states within the US, as well as internationally, with revenues of approximately $4.8 billion.
The U.S. Space team brings more than 100 combined years of senior executive experience in the management, operations, and financing of commercial and military space systems. The company, which is privately owned, was established in January 2009 as a U.S.-owned provider of satellite solutions with a unique model combining the best practices of ComSatCom and MilSatCom. The company now offers a variety of dedicated, commercial space solutions.
Collectively, the ViviSat leadership team comprises respected leaders from the satellite industry, the government/military and the financial community, bringing a wealth of experience spanning enterprise, media, government and military applications.
