Maser has an exceptional track record of success in both the technical and business aspects of the launch vehicle industry. Before joining SpaceX, Maser served first as chief systems engineer and then as president and general manager of Sea Launch, arguably the world's most successful commercial launch company.
Maser started his career with the Boeing Delta and Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle programs in structural design. He went on to serve as chief engineer of Delta III and was one of the key architects of the evolution of Delta II to Delta IV. Before joining McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) in the 1980s, he was a research fellow at the NASA/Lewis Research Center.
SpaceX is developing a family of launch vehicles intended to reduce the cost and increase the reliability of both manned and unmanned space transportation. With its Falcon line of launch vehicles, SpaceX is aiming to offer light, medium and heavy lift capabilities, as well as deliver spacecraft into any inclination and altitude, from low Earth orbit to geosynchronous orbit to planetary missions.
