Space Strategy & Spectrum Policy Advisory

Where technical depth
meets regulatory reality.

Independent advisory for space companies navigating the gap between what they're building and what the rules allow. Spectrum filings, regulatory strategy, and product positioning for operators, startups, and investors.

What I do

Four areas, one throughline

Most space ventures don't fail on the engineering. They stall where the technical roadmap collides with spectrum, licensing, and international policy. That collision is where I work.

01 / SPECTRUM

International Spectrum & Market Access

ITU filings, WRC preparation, and coordination strategy for satellite operators. Translating a constellation's technical design into a defensible position and clear market access internationally.

02 / DOMESTIC

Domestic Regulatory & Licensing

FCC, FAA, and NOAA pathways: earth station and space station licensing, remote sensing, launch and reentry, and the cross-agency choreography early-stage operators rarely have in-house.

03 / PRODUCT

Product & Commercial Strategy

Market positioning and go-to-market for space products and services, with a focus on optical communications, novel orbital use cases, telecom, and constellation design.

Workforce & Talent Pipeline

Fellowship and scholarship program design, offer strategy, and early-career pipeline development for organizations building durable technical teams.

Who's behind it

Josh Ingersoll

I'm a product leader and space policy practitioner who works at the seam between engineering, policy, and business, the place where most of the hard, unglamorous decisions in commercial space actually get made.

My three graduate degrees map directly to that triforce: aerospace engineering, international space policy, and business. It's the foundation for advisory work that has to hold all three at once, because a spectrum filing, a licensing pathway, and a go-to-market plan are rarely separable problems.

Ingersoll Space Solutions LLC is how I take on select advisory engagements outside that work, helping companies and investors think clearly about the regulatory and commercial terrain ahead before they commit capital to it.

problem worth thinking through?

Whether you're filing with the ITU, positioning a new orbital product, or trying to figure out which agency owns your problem, send a note. I take on a limited number of engagements.
