Sergio Gallucci ‘16, the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of SCOUT Inc., a space technology start-up, was recently honored by Forbes among the “1,000 new faces who are redefining what it means to build and run a business today.” Gallucci is listed in the publication’s “Next 1000. The Upstart Entrepreneurs Redefining the American Dream.”
Gallucci graduated from Clarkson’s Honors Program with his bachelor’s in aeronautical engineering in 2016. He was a McNair Scholar, conducted research as an undergraduate research assistant, was involved in CSTEP, AIAA, aerospace leadership, and minority student advocacy. After earning his bachelor’s degree from Clarkson, he performed graduate work at Penn State University as part of the NSF Graduate Fellowship Research Program.
In 2017, when he lost contact with his research satellite not long after it went into orbit, Gallucci had no sensors that would allow him to track it or assess what went wrong. So in 2019, he co-founded SCOUT, which is a startup focused on making space safer to navigate. SCOUT launched its first “vision system” into space last year and plans to release more in 2022. Next year, the company plans to send its own sensor-equipped satellites into space to help monitor the surroundings of their client’s satellites, including orbital debris.
