Space Logistics and Transportation Services Leader D-Orbit Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary, Caps Decade with Dozens of Successful Customer Payloads Delivered

Company ushers in next decade of growth within the trillion dollar space economy, continues track record of space-proven technologies, successful missions and customer outcomes

COMO, Italy, April 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — D-Orbit, the global market leader in the space logistics and transportation service industry, celebrated its 10-year anniversary this month, capping a remarkable decade for the company. Founded in 2011 by CEO Luca Rossettini and CCO Renato Panesi, before the dawn of the New Space market, D-Orbit has continuously brought innovation to a space industry that is still in its infancy and one that has been predicted to generate revenues of $1.4 trillion or more by 2030, up from $424 billion in 20191.

“D-Orbit was founded with a long-term vision of creating the space infrastructure necessary to support human expansion and I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve been able to accomplish in just a few years,” said D-Orbit CEO Luca Rossettini. “Earth would not be what it is today without the logistics companies leading the way, and so we’re replicating that successful model in space to enable the growth of the space market, from space debris removal, to satellite transportation, to in-orbit servicing and beyond. We look forward to the next decade and are excited about the future of the company and of the Space industry.”

Throughout its 10-year history, D-Orbit has achieved a variety of milestones, including:

  • 2013: First launch to orbit
  • 2015: Became the first private company to provide effective solutions for end-of-life satellite management
  • 2017: Launched the first satellite with decommissioning service on board
  • 2017: Tested its satellite-as-a-service business model with its AURORA mission control software
  • 2020: Became the first private company to operate a cargo spacecraft in orbit
  • 2020: Became the first private company to deliver a satellite for a customer into a precise operational slot
  • 2021: Reached 44 payloads successfully brought to space

In the U.S., D-Orbit plans to continue to build its presence and make key hires to support the company’s expansion in 2021. It is a key market for the company and one it plans to make a commitment to in the near future.

D-Orbit has a rich heritage and history of firsts with a long-term vision of human expansion into sustainable space. The company’s forward-thinking view has enabled it to consistently create solutions for its customers that save them money and time. D-Orbit’s ION Satellite Carrier, for example, is a cargo spacecraft that can transport satellites in orbit and release them individually into distinct orbital slots, reducing the time from launch to operations by up to 85% and the launch costs of an entire satellite constellation by up to 40%.

As D-Orbit looks ahead to the future, the company is already developing and testing new technologies aimed at extending the life of the satellites in orbit, active debris removal, interplanetary space logistics, and more, laying out the foundations of an infrastructure that will broaden humankind’s opportunities to operate in space and colonize the solar system.

About D-Orbit

D-Orbit is the global market leader in the space logistics and transportation services industry with a track record of space-proven technologies, successful missions, and customer outcomes. The company has developed proprietary space logistics technology and transportation solutions to accelerate the growth and development of a trillion-dollar space economy, and has already successfully delivered 44 payloads into space for its customers while developing advanced products and services for the needs of tomorrow.

Hunton Andrews Kurth Continues Expansion of National Coverage Practice with Insurance Recovery Attorney Lara Degenhart Cassidy

Washington, D.C., April 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lara Degenhart Cassidy, an insurance coverage attorney with nearly three decades of experience representing corporate policyholders and individuals in complex coverage disputes has joined Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP as a Special Counsel in Washington, D.C.

Cassidy assists clients in the energy, chemical, retail, technology, construction, political law, financial services and entertainment industries pursue coverage in a wide range of underlying disputes, including class action securities litigation, shareholder derivative suits, regulatory and administrative proceedings, general liability claims, professional liability claims, wrongful death and food recall claims.  

She joins the firm from Perkins Coie LLP and is the most recent addition to Hunton Andrews Kurth’s insurance coverage practice, which has added eight attorneys over the past year. Her new colleagues include partner Koorosh Talieh in Washington and special counsel Scott DeVries in San Francisco, who joined the firm in December and May, respectively, and Andrea DeField in Miami, who was promoted to partner on April 1.

“Lara is an outstanding attorney whose experience and reputation as a trial lawyer and counselor add further depth to our nationally recognized policyholder practice, as we continue to build one of the largest national platforms,” said Walter Andrews, head of Hunton Andrews Kurth’s insurance coverage practice. “Several of our partners have known Lara for many years and we are thrilled to welcome her to the firm.”

Cassidy’s experience includes seeking coverage for companies and their individual directors, officers, and managers under Directors & Officers (D&O) or Management Liability insurance policies. She notably led the appellate briefing in MBIA Inc. v. Federal Insurance Co., which led to a groundbreaking Second Circuit decision on D&O insurance coverage issues, resulting in full coverage for her financial-services client.

Some of her past representations include:

  • Negotiating full-policy-limits funding by a D&O tower of the settlement of significant shareholder liability claims against a major coal producing company alleging that corporate mismanagement led to tragic loss of life and undervalued the company in a subsequent merger.

  • Recovering the costs that a leading oil field services company incurred to assess, mitigate and resolve regulatory proceedings, private securities litigation, shareholder derivative claims, and internal and external corporate investigations arising from the company’s restatement of its earnings.

  • Representing a major coal company and its subsidiaries in a complex series of mediations, litigations, arbitrations, and administrative actions to recover insurance proceeds under fifty years of general liability insurance policies for thousands of bodily injury and property damage claims from both solvent and insolvent insurers.    

Cassidy earned her undergraduate degree at Southwestern University and her law degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law. 

Hunton Andrews Kurth’s insurance coverage practice has decades of experience helping clients maximize insurance recoveries through insurance program reviews, claims presentation and negotiation, litigation, alternate dispute resolution, trials and appeals. With offices in Washington, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Atlanta, Dallas, London and other key commercial centers, the team has advised policyholders with traditional and emerging insurance products in virtually every sector of the economy, including financial services, utilities, energy, natural resources, health care, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, telecommunications, technology, e-commerce, manufacturing and more.

Tyler Technologies Acquires ReadySub School Scheduling Solution

Tyler Technologies Acquires ReadySub School Scheduling Solution

ReadySub brings comprehensive scheduling solution to Tyler’s 2,000 school district clients

PLANO, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced it has acquired ReadySub, a cloud-based platform that assists school districts with absence tracking, filling substitute teacher assignments, and automating essential payroll processes.

“The acquisition of ReadySub strengthens Tyler’s school portfolio and brings more comprehensive solutions to the school districts that we serve,” said Lynn Moore, president and chief executive officer of Tyler. “We plan to build integrations with our school administration products, providing more value to districts as we help them implement all-in-one workflows. This supports our Connected Communities vision as we work with clients to tie together these disparate processes.”

ReadySub delivers comprehensive absence and substitute management and serves approximately 1,000 school districts across the United States, approximately 20 of which overlap with Tyler’s 2,000 school district clients. The solution helps districts with the labor-intensive and demanding task of filling both planned and unplanned staff absences with the most highly qualified substitute resources.

Additionally, ReadySub can integrate with districts’ payroll processes, eliminating duplicate work and streamlining related payroll tasks.

For substitute employees, they can more easily make themselves known and available to districts in their area and control when they take assignments and when they plan to be unavailable. The solution’s cloud-based platform makes it easy for substitutes and district staff to access the tool from any device, including smartphones and tablets.

“We are looking forward to joining the Tyler Technologies organization as we feel they share our vision for technology in K-12 space,” said Michael Lucia, head of business development, ReadySub. “We are excited about seeing the positive impact we will make together for school districts, their staff, and their students.”

Founded by David Vail and Vince Zanella, ReadySub is based in Seattle, Washington, and has 10 full-time employees. ReadySub management and staff will become part of Tyler’s Schools organization and its current employees are expected to remain working remotely.

This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially.  Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters.
