STRATEGIC OVERVIEW

WTP Space believes human spaceflight belongs in a competitive, collaborative marketplace. As pioneering leaders who helped shape the first 3 Private Astronaut Missions (PAM), we aim to evolve the PAM landscape ahead through WTP Space.

We are driving innovation in commercial human spaceflight by pioneering the Independent Mission Operator (IMO) model for Private Astronaut Missions (PAM) to Commercial Low Earth Orbit Destinations (CLD). As CLDs emerge and mature, WTP Space will serve as a critical bridge—facilitating the onboarding of new CLDs by integrating PAM operations while continuing to provide proven mission services for established CLDs, whether as a primary provider or a complementary option within a broader service ecosystem.
