Industry Executive Allen Flynt Joins Axiom Space as Chief Officer, Mission Services

"We are excited to have Allen Flynt join our executive team," said Michael Suffredini, CEO of Axiom Space. "His decades of experience in the space industry will be a tremendous asset as we expand our global reach and bring more users to space. We eagerly anticipate Allen's contributions in our pursuit of a thriving economy in low-Earth orbit."

Beyond his commercial endeavors, Flynt had a remarkable 21-year career at NASA. His tenure included senior roles such as director of mission operations at Johnson Space Center, deputy center director at Ames Research Center, and director of the EVA (extravehicular activity) office. His contributions earned him both the Outstanding Leadership and Exceptional Achievement medals.

"It is an honor to join Axiom Space and contribute to this new chapter in commercial space exploration," said Flynt. "In this transformative era, where access to space is expanding, our mission resonates with the aspirations of those eager to explore and realize the endless possibilities in microgravity. As I step into my new role, I am poised to champion and empower the visionary ideas and goals of nations and individuals around the world who look to venture beyond the confines of our planet."

Flynt will lead Axiom Space's human spaceflight operations as the company prepares for the launch and integration of its privately developed modules to the ISS. His depth of knowledge will be particularly valuable as the company readies to operate Axiom Station, the world's first commercial space station.
