Anthony Grigore

Anthony Grigore leads the power & avionics architecture for the Lazuli Observatory, where they oversee the design, integration, and operation of the spacecraft bus and instrument subsystems. With over a decade of experience in the space industry, Anthony has held roles at Millennium Space Systems and Rocket Lab, building deep expertise across spacecraft systems, AIT, and operations for both near-earth and interplanetary platforms. Anthony’s approach is defined by focus and pragmatism: prioritizing what matters most and cutting what isn’t, taking calculated risks rather than avoiding them entirely, and backing every decision with rigorous testing. Equally central to their work is building collaborative teams grounded in honesty and trust — the foundation for making sound decisions under pressure.
