Guillermo Söhnlein

I grew up with two idols: Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Captain James T. Kirk. Both had a personal and professional passion for exploring strange worlds. I consider myself quite fortunate that my life and career have allowed me to follow in their footsteps ... even though I consider all of my work thus far to be just the beginning!

I am currently involved with three organizations that fuel my various passions:

Blue Marble Exploration We organize high-profile expeditions to promote the human exploration of extreme environments. We push the limits of technology, science, operations, and human endurance to raise awareness of our liquid planet.

RBC Signals We are creating a global network of ground stations to help clients communicate with their satellites in Low Earth Orbit.

WayPaver Foundation We are a research-guided grant-making institution supporting science and technology development in furtherance of permanent human lunar settlement.
