Mowry’s career spans over two decades in the commercial launch,
satellite, and space station sectors.
As President of the International Astronautical Federation
(IAF), Mowry is a globally recognized leader in the space
community, within industry and government alike.
In his role as Advisor, Mowry will provide guidance and counsel
on the growth of Vast’s commercial space station business.
Vast is executing its strategy to build a robust pipeline of
international commercial and government customers for Haven-1, the
world’s first commercial free-flying space station. Vast is equally
committed to increasing opportunities to collaborate with NASA on
Private Astronaut Missions, Commercial LEO Destinations (CLD), and
other flight opportunities as its space station fleet evolves.
Mowry brings a wealth of experience to inform and help refine
that execution. From his time at Voyager he has extensive expertise
in the CLD market, with a track record of building international
partnerships, and from his time at Blue Origin he has unique
experience pioneering sales in the human suborbital spaceflight
market as well.
"We are delighted to welcome Clay Mowry to Vast as an Advisor,"
said Max Haot, CEO of Vast. "Clay's experience and insight will be
instrumental as we continue to push the boundaries of what's
possible in space habitation. His contribution will play a key role
in supporting Vast's strategic direction and driving our mission
forward."
Prior to joining Vast, Mowry held various leadership positions.
In addition to the aforementioned Presidency of IAF, he was the
Chief Revenue Officer at Voyager Space, Vice President for Global
Sales at Blue Origin, and President and Chairman of Arianespace’s
U.S. subsidiary. His multifaceted career has established him as a
respected leader in the space industry.
"I am excited to join Vast as an Advisor and contribute to the
company's mission of advancing commercial space stations," said
Clay Mowry. "Vast's commitment to execution is commendable, and I
look forward to collaborating with the team to drive continued
growth and success in the rapidly evolving space station
market."
