[SatNews] Chris Clark has joined Millennium Space Systems to further strengthen the company’s

reputation as a provider of high performance affordable spacecraft and associated flight systems. Clark was principally involved with the early flight programs at Spectrum Astro, such as MSTI-1 and MSTI-2, which fueled its growth. He worked with several U.S. Government customers and on large and small programs. Most recently, he was principally involved with several NASA science missions including Swift, Fermi, Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) and ICESat-2.

“Chris Clark will apply the depth and breadth of his program management and space flight engineering experience to broaden our customer base to NASA and NOAA, and our core product area as a provider of affordable, high performance, low risk spacecraft,” says Vince Deno, President of Millennium Space Systems.

Prior to joining Millennium, Clark was Director of NASA and Civil Programs at Spectrum Astro and General Dynamics. His technical experience includes working Guidance Navigation & Control on large, national programs during his early tenure at Martin Marietta and TRW.
