In 2020, Dragonfly Aerospace launched with a clear mission: to provide decision-makers with precise, easily accessible data. As Bryan Dean, Group CEO and Co-Founder, puts it: “Our goal is to use this technology to improve lives on Earth.” The company specialises in compact, high-performance imaging payloads (the part of the satellite responsible for collecting data or transmitting information), creating expansive imaging networks that offer constant views of Earth in various spectrums. This data provides critical business insights and helps improve lives globally. Based in Stellenbosch, Dragonfly Aerospace also contributes to space exploration, supporting NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration missions and lunar projects. Despite challenges, such as the lack of government-funded space initiatives, Dean believes South African space companies' resilience sets them apart. “The industry would definitely grow more with government projects and grants, which we have received practically zero of for a long time,” Dean notes. “But our resilience is our strength. Without government safety nets, we must be agile and competitive globally.” This agility, Dean adds, distinguishes South African space companies. “We fight hard for every bit of revenue,” he explains. “It has made us tough and agile. We might be one of the only truly commercial space industries in the world because we have no government support. It sounds negative, but it has made us stronger.” For more on Dragonfly’s journey, check out pages 12-13 in the latest edition of Wesgro’s Pioneers Magazine: https://lnkd.in/dfjwuHZF #SpaceTech #CommercialSpace #Innovation
