Sea Launch announced Tuesday its board of directors has named Robert Peckham as the new president and general manager. Peckham has been serving on an interim basis in this role since March 30. He brings more than 25 years of experience in the aerospace industry, focusing the past 18 years on commercial space business.

He has played a pivotal position in the growth of Sea Launch since joining the marketing and sales team in 2000, the company said in a statement, adding that Peckham will continue to provide oversight to that team until a successor is named in the near future.

Peckham has been leading the Sea Launch sales team, filling the Sea Launch manifest into 2008. He and his team have also filled the manifest for the land-based offering - Land Launch - through 2008.

Since 1988, he has held increasingly responsible positions in the development of commercial space programs. He was manager of launch services acquisition for Hughes Space and Communications - now Boeing Satellite Systems - before joining Sea Launch in 2000, as senior director of sales and marketing and then as vice president of sales and marketing in 2001.

"Rob is the right leader for Sea Launch at this time," said Bill Collopy, chairman of the Sea Launch board of directors. "He has an intimate knowledge of the market, an understanding of the business and the enthusiastic endorsement of the board."
