The BlackVe headquarters, which includes our AI&T facility, located in Albuquerque, NM, meets all relevant environment laws and regulations. This 8,000 sq.ft. facility will be equipped with multi-level security and will be structured for design and manufacturing agility. We are building an entire assembly floor complete with class 100,000 clean room. There is sufficient space provided for both FlatSat and system level integration. Additionally, BlackVe is in very close proximity to multiple National Laboratories and is establishing agreements to utilize those specialized facilities for secure integration as needed.
Peter has over 30 years of experience in aerospace, defense, and national security.
Prior to founding BlackVe, he was CTO and CSO at BlackSky Global, a leading commercial global intelligence company that builds, launches, and operates a constellation of remote sensing satellites and advanced AI/ML tools for high performance data exploitation.
He also served as Director of Advanced Concepts at the Space Dynamics Laboratory, Director of the DoD’s Operationally Responsive Space Office, Technical Advisor to USAF Space Command, and Research Scientist at the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Peter led the development of the ESPA Ring and several small satellite technologies and systems (including the DoD TacSat series). He has been a part of more than 30 space missions from the concept phase to on-orbit operations.
Peter is a Member of the Department of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board, and also leads its Commercial Technology Trends and Opportunities Subcommittee. He holds a PhD in Engineering from University of Wyoming, an MS in Aerospace Engineering from Stanford, and BS in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Arizona, and has been awarded 3 patents.
Doug was formerly a Vice President and General Manager for Jacobs, and was the CEO of BlackLynx. A recognized federal government leader, he served 33 years with the CIA, his last position being Deputy Director of the Science and Technology Directorate. Earlier, he served as Chief Information Officer (CIO) at the CIA, in charge of Agency Information Technology (IT) vision and strategic direction, along with advising the Intelligence Community (IC).
Throughout his career, Doug held multiple CIA positions, among them were Deputy Director for Acquisition, Technology, and Facilities at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI); Deputy Director of the Office of Global Access (OGA), and program manager overseeing the end-to-end system acquisition of an innovative new source and method for the Intelligence Community.
Doug holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Southern California, and a Master’s degree in System Engineering from Virginia Tech.
Jeremy has over 20 years of experience in national security aerospace & defense, with extensive technology development and transition expertise. He has directed multiple successful space initiatives within the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
At the NRO, as Deputy Director of a Program Office, he drove strategies to deliver emerging commercial remote sensing data, thousands of images each day, into the hands of intelligence and defense users. Prior to the NRO, Jeremy served as the Chief Engineer for the DARPA Blackjack Program, developing commercial proliferated low-earth-orbit constellations for defense use.
While at AFRL, he developed and transitioned multiple space technologies to operational use. He holds a PhD in Engineering from the University of New Mexico, and an M.S. and B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, and has been awarded 6 US patents.
Kendra has over 15 years of experience in Aerospace & Defense, with extensive spacecraft autonomy experience. She brings a commitment to developing and deploying advanced technology, in particular artificial intelligence and autonomy, to the space domain. This has been her objective throughout her career, where she has built out highly technical teams to advance state of the art for mission-level autonomy.
Prior to joining BlackVe she held a director-level position at Verus Research, founding and then running their space program. She was also a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Oxford, designing advanced control and verification algorithms.
She holds a PhD in Engineering and an M.S. in Mathematics from the University of New Mexico, and a B.S. in Mathematics from McGill University.
Stan has over 25 years of experience in government service.
He was an US Air Force officer, active duty for 10 of those years, and retired out of the USAF Reserves in 2019. From 2007 to 2024,
he was a USAF government civilian as an Aerospace and General Engineer. Over this career, he has been a Range Operations Commander (launch), a spacecraft systems engineer, Chief Engineer, Program Manager, Branch Chief, Division Chief, and Technical Director in 5 different laboratory and acquisition units across the USAF and USSF.
He holds a M.S. in Astronautical Engineering with a graduate certificate in Systems Engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology and a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering Sciences from the University of Colorado-Boulder.
Jeff’s 30 years of professional experiences includes co-founding and serving as CEO of an engineering and design firm supporting aerospace and technology development companies across the US and serving as Technical Program Manger role at one of the preeminent innovation and design firms in the US. Each project required the successful leadership throughout diverse and complex technical issues and substantial creative content for the most demanding clients.
Previously, as a civilian member of the Department of Defense for 14 years, Jeff directed and managed space programs for the Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) Office and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). During his tenure at ORS, he was appointed Mission Director for two dedicated space launches that manifested 28 and 13 spacecraft, respectively, on two separate launch vehicles.
Jeff holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, is the author of 22 refereed publications, 58 non-refereed publications, 3 magazine articles, and has served on 12 graduate committees.
BlackVe CEO Peter Wegner and the leadership team will attend the Space Symposium 2025, where we are committed to identifying vendors that align with our operational requirements, fostering strategic partnerships, and gaining deep insights into customer needs. We look forward to meaningful engagements that drive our mission forward.
