Richard Nederlander is the founder and CEO of Spargo Space, a company building infrastructure for orbital refueling and in-space logistics. His work focuses on developing propellant depots and autonomous docking systems that enable spacecraft to refuel and operate beyond the limits of onboard propellant. He founded Spargo Space in 2025 to address a core constraint in space operations: the inability to replenish fuel once a spacecraft is on orbit. Under his leadership, the company is developing scalable refueling infrastructure designed to support satellite life extension, space stations, orbital servicing vehicles, and deep-space logistics. Nederlander’s work sits at the intersection of spacecraft autonomy, orbital transportation, and space infrastructure development, with the goal of enabling persistent operations in Earth orbit and beyond.
