Jeffrey Manber

As CEO of NanoRacks, from 2009 onwards, Jeffrey Manber has steered the growth of the first company to own and market its own hardware and services on board the International Space Station.

When NanoRacks began operations, no one even knew if customers would pay for space station services. No one understood how a private company could operate onboard a government facility.

Today, NanoRacks is a market leader in space station services, having flown over 700 payloads, including 200 satellites deployed, from customers from 30 nations, ranging from NASA, DoD, European Union, German Space Agency, leading U.S. companies such as Planet Labs and Spire, as well as over 100 schools from almost 40 States, and 11 schools in Israel, all with no direct NASA funding.Jeff is also the author of numerous articles and several books, including “Selling Peace,” which highlights his time working with the Russian space program.
