Rocket Factory Augusburg replaces CEO
Posted: Sun, Apr 20, 2025, 10:17 AM ET (1417 GMT)
German launch vehicle startup Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) has replaced its CEO. The company said last week that Stefan Tweraser, who had been CEO since October 2021, had been replaced by Indulis Kalnins. The company didn't give a reason for the change but suggested they wanted more technical leadership at the company. Kalnins is on the aerospace faculty of a German university and has been managing director of OHB Cosmos, which focused on launch services, while Tweraser came to RFA after a career outside of aerospace. RFA is working towards a second attempt at a first launch of its RFA ONE rocket after the first stage of its initial rocket was destroyed in a static-fire test last August. The company is targeting late this year for a launch.
