Cozy Dark emerging technology began work in 2010 as a skunkworks-style engineering firm and is registered with CCR and NSPIRES.
Our early engineering & design efforts have focused on orbital debris solutions and electrodynamic tether technology.
Zach Urbina founded Cozy Dark with the cooperation of technical, research, and academic colleagues in the Southern California AeroAstro community.
We also have a growing library of space science talks featuring Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin, astrophysicist Sean Carroll and more.

Robert Staehle presents his team’s work on interplanetary cubesats at NASA’s NIAC Symposium on 28 March 2012 [18min:12sec]. Every presentation was uniquely brilliant, but Staehle’s team was of particular interest to long-term Cozy Dark objectives.
My personal favorite talk was Gregory Scott’s discussion of microbial fuel cells (tiny bugs that eat sugar and poop electricity).
This talk has been added to our growing video archive, which includes talks from Buzz Aldrin, Sean Carroll, and several more noteworthy individuals. - ZU

Known as the Rocket Whisperer, Doug Jones is a Co-Founder and Chief Scientist at XCOR Aerospace. He handles test design and analysis of test results for the company’s liquid rocket engine development and facilitates the development and operation of rocket engine test apparatus. Before joining XCOR, Doug was responsible for sizing the fluid injector elements in Rotary Rocket Company’s (RRC) rocket engine design. Prior to RRC, Doug designed, built, and tested a 400 lb thrust nitrous oxide/propane engine, it’s test facility, and a 300,000 cubic foot balloon system for Vela Technology. Doug also flew multiple times as flight test engineer in the X-Racer rocket powered aircraft! via @SpaceVidCast
