Chief Technical Officer
Dr. John W. Hunter brings deep expertise in high-velocity propulsion systems and advanced aerospace research to Green Launch. A physicist by training, he is known for leading the SHARP project at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, giving him rare hands-on experience with extreme-speed launch concepts and experimental propulsion platforms. At Green Launch, he helps guide the technical direction behind hypersonic testing, scramjet-related applications, and light-gas launch development. His background supports the company's focus on turning ambitious launch theory into practical, testable systems for defense, aerospace, and scientific customers. Dr. Hunter's leadership is central to Green Launch's ability to pursue Mach 9-class performance with a disciplined, data-driven engineering approach.

Strategic Outreach
Eric Robinson supports Green Launch's strategic outreach with a background in systems science and entrepreneurship. His experience in fluid delivery systems for aerospace applications aligns closely with the company's light-gas propulsion model and broader mission development efforts. He helps connect Green Launch's technical capabilities with the needs of defense organizations, research institutions, and commercial aerospace stakeholders seeking practical alternatives to conventional launch methods. By translating complex engineering value into mission-focused opportunities, he plays an important role in partnership development and customer engagement. His work helps ensure Green Launch's hypersonic and sub-orbital services are positioned clearly for organizations that need speed, efficiency, and credible technical collaboration.

Chairman of the Board
Don Whitney brings operational perspective to Green Launch through his experience as an Air Force pilot and environmental consultant. His background supports the company's planning around mission execution, safety considerations, and practical deployment strategy for advanced launch systems. At Green Launch, he contributes to board-level leadership and helps shape how the company balances ambitious aerospace innovation with real-world operational discipline. His aviation and environmental experience also complements Green Launch's emphasis on cleaner propulsion and more sustainable launch alternatives. For customers evaluating hypersonic testing or sub-orbital delivery partners, his presence reinforces the company's ability to think beyond engineering alone and address broader mission planning requirements.
Satellite launch programs typically move through mission definition, payload integration, launch vehicle preparation, pre-launch testing, launch execution, ascent or sub-orbital flight, payload deployment or data collection, and post-flight analysis. For a high-cadence atmospheric mission, the same framework applies, but with added emphasis on repeatability, turnaround planning, and comparing results across multiple launches in a coordinated campaign.
