Space Phoenix Systems is a Baltimore-based startup on a mission to transform how humanity moves, manages, and maximizes resources in space. Co-founded and led by CEO Andrew Parlock, the company is building the next generation of space logistics infrastructure—reliable, rapid, and cost-effective. With a background in aerospace engineering and a MBA, Parlock blends deep technical expertise with a strategic business perspective to solve some of the most pressing challenges in the space economy.

At the heart of Space Phoenix’s mission is its flagship spacecraft, Hermes, designed to be fully repairable, reusable, and optimized for quick turnaround. This innovative approach allows payloads to be delivered and retrieved with unprecedented speed and affordability. By prioritizing sustainability and operational efficiency, Space Phoenix Systems ensures that space-based activities can grow without the waste or inefficiencies of traditional models.

Inspired by the infrastructure pioneers of the 1849 Gold Rush—those who laid the roads, established supply routes, and provided the services that fueled new industries—Parlock envisions Space Phoenix Systems as a catalyst for growth in the low-Earth orbit economy. The company is building the essential logistics network to support this rapidly expanding $1.6 trillion market. Through faster, more reliable transport and greater accessibility, Space Phoenix is setting the stage for a dynamic and enduring commercial presence in space.
