      [Via Satellite 03-07-2014] Spaceflight Inc. has appointed Curt Blake as its new president. Blake previously served as SVP and general council, and has led efforts to expand the company’s global network of launch service providers. He has also built relationships with key commercial-, civilian- and defense-related customers.

      Blake holds more than 25 years of executive experience in high-growth and tech industries, including senior executive and general counsel roles at Microsoft, Starwave, Corbis and Aldus.
