Tory Bruno, the former chief executive officer and president of United Launch Alliance, will become the president of the new national security group at Blue Origin, the Jeff Bezos-founded space venture that is one of ULA’s biggest suppliers and rivals.
As head of the group, Bruno will oversee “the development of cutting-edge products, services, and technologies aimed at enhancing national security missions,” according to an internal email from Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp, seen by Bloomberg.
The in-space systems group includes projects like Blue Ring, which aims to develop a versatile satellite that can do a diverse range of tasks in space, and the company’s efforts to build a new communications spacecraft that could orbit Mars.
