BridgeSat, Inc., a subsidiary of Allied Minds (LSE: ALM) that is
developing an optical connectivity system to improve the wireless
transfer of data from satellites and high-altitude unmanned
vehicles (UAVs), today announced the appointment of David Mitlyng
as Senior Vice President of Business Development and Strategy.
During his more than 20-year career in the satellite industry,
Mitlyng has served in leadership positions ranging from Chief and
Lead Systems Engineer on a wide range of satellite projects for
Space Systems and Orbital ATK, to overseeing business development
for Orbital ATK and, most recently, SSL. In addition to his degree
in Aeronautical Engineering from California Polytechnic State
University, Mitlyng also has a Masters of Science degree in
Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University, and an MBA
from the MIT Sloan School of Management.
“We are excited to welcome David to our growing team at
BridgeSat,” said John Serafini, BridgeSat’s co-General Manager, who
is also a Vice President at parent company Allied Minds. “David’s
background is well-suited to our mission of bringing advanced data
transmission capabilities to the broader satellite industry.”
BridgeSat worked with The Aerospace Corporation to develop the
optical connectivity system, which aims to improve the speed,
efficiency and security of Low Earth Orbit satellite
transmissions.
As the cost of building and launching satellites declines,
demand for accurate and frequent data collection from LEO
satellites is expected to increase over the next decade.
BridgeSat’s system aims to solve some of the challenges that
traditional radio-frequency transmissions face, such as size,
weight, cost and power bottlenecks. The company is working with
Aerospace as well as with Draper Laboratory to develop an
alternative downlink mechanism that aims to be faster, more secure,
and available at a lower cost to traditional radio-frequency
transmissions.

The company is a subsidiary of Boston-based Allied Minds (LSE:
