r3SpACE Consulting

r3SpACE Consulting LLC is an American defense and commercial space consulting firm headquartered in Redondo Beach, California, founded by Carl J. Frushon, who draws on decades of executive management experience in USAF and National Intelligence Community space organizations. The company name reflects its core philosophy: Responsive operations, Rapid development and test, and Resilient architectures — the three attributes it believes define sustainable space programs in an era of contested and congested domains.

The firm is certified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and serves customers primarily in the DoD, USAF, and National Intelligence Community, as well as commercial space companies seeking to compete in or access those markets. Its service portfolio covers the full lifecycle of space programs: systems engineering, program management, business development, technology development, and strategic direction. A particular specialty is helping organizations commercialize untapped intellectual property for defense, commercial, and international space markets.

r3SpACE focuses on building customer intimacy with DoD acquisition organizations and helping commercial space companies navigate the path to government contracts, effectively bridging the gap between cutting-edge commercial technology and defense program needs.
