About WTP Space
Removing unnecessary cost and complexity between the customer and the outcome.
Who are we?
Why do we exist?
Commercial human spaceflight is entering a period of unprecedented transition as the ISS approaches retirement and the Artemis era takes shape. Commercial space is shifting toward what the market needs—not the architecture government once required. WTP Space was founded by leaders who pioneered commercial ISS private astronaut missions to help participants navigate this changing market and develop mission architectures that remove unnecessary cost and complexity between the customer and the outcome.

What are we trying to accomplish?
Expanded Access to Commercial Human Spaceflight for the Post-ISS Commercial Era
WTP's Independent Mission Operator (IMO) model provides customers with an independent, destination-agnostic and transportation-agnostic pathway to commercial human spaceflight. By aligning every mission with our customers' objectives rather than a single transportation provider, destination, or architecture, WTP expands access while enabling participation throughout the post-ISS Artemis era.
A Sustainable Commercial Space Economy
By operating independently across multiple transportation systems and commercial destinations, WTP expands customer choice, encourages competition, and supports a more sustainable commercial human spaceflight ecosystem.
Stronger Industry Partnerships
WTP complements transportation providers, commercial destinations (CLD), technology partners, and research organizations by leading mission integration, allowing each organization to focus on its core strengths while delivering a seamless mission experience.
Customer Focused Outcomes
WTP is developing mission architectures that remove unnecessary cost and complexity between the customer and the outcome.
Across vairous mission architectures and organizations (as an independent mission operator), WTP streamlines planning, integration, training, and mission execution, reducing complexity while improving mission effectiveness and productivity.
Guiding the Transition to the Post-ISS Commercial Era
WTP is bridging today's commercial human spaceflight market with tomorrow's commercial orbital economy. WTP is helping customers establish long-term participation in commercial human spaceflight by creating independent mission opportunities today while preparing for tomorrow's expanding commercial ecosystem in the post-ISS Artemis era.
