About
Technical depth. Program discipline. Commercial judgment.
Silicon Valley Space Consulting is a boutique aerospace advisory practice led by Sean C. Casey, PhD, MBA. SVSC helps companies, research organizations, investors, and mission teams pursue technically complex opportunities where engineering, program execution, customer needs, funding, partnerships, and commercialization must align.
Experience spans NASA Ames Research Center, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the SOFIA program, commercial satellite ground systems, university research programs, startup commercialization, and international technology partnerships.
The objective is straightforward: translate complex aerospace technologies and mission capabilities into fundable programs, credible partnerships, differentiated offerings, stronger capture strategies, and executable growth plans.
