Anthony Maranto, Lynker’s Chief Growth Officer, has been elected to the Maryland Space Business Roundtable (MSBR) Board for 2024!
Congratulations Tony! Your dedication and expertise will be a great asset to Maryland’s space community.
Congratulations to Scott McIntosh, Lynker Space’s VP of Space Operations, on being selected for the second time to serve on The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s (OSTP) Space Weather Advisory Group (SWAG)!
Scott joins an elite group of space weather experts, and users of space weather forecasts, from the private sector and academia. The SWAG provides critical input to the White House space weather working group to help ensure the U.S. is prepared for and protected against space weather threats.
We are fortunate to have Scott, who recently joined Lynker after serving as Deputy Director of the NSF NCAR – The National Center for Atmospheric Research, leading our effort to transform space weather forecasting for numerous vulnerable sectors.
Lynker has secured a contract from NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) Uncrewed Systems Operations Center (UxSOC) to support their Uncrewed Marine Systems Division (UMSD). We’ll provide operational, logistical, and training support for NOAA’s DriX uncrewed surface vehicles, vital for hydrographic mapping and fisheries missions.
Looking forward to continuing to advance marine technology with NOAA!

Yesterday we announced the launch of Lynker Space, an exciting new space weather forecasting capability that allows us to provide high-precision, industry-specific forecasts and alerts to mitigate damaging and disruptive impacts to vulnerable assets, infrastructure and services near and on Earth.
Today we are welcoming renowned space weather expert Scott McIntosh, who is leading this effort as Lynker’s new Vice President of Space Operations. Scott has more than 25 years of experience as a solar and astrophysical researcher, and joins Lynker after serving as Deputy Director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research since 2019. Among his many accomplishments, Scott led the research team that accurately predicted an active Solar Cycle 25, contrary to the weaker activity predicted by most other groups.
“Scott is a unique talent within the space weather community. He is ideally suited to lead Lynker Space in its mission to take actionable space weather forecasts to the next level,” said Scott Rayder, Lynker’s President. “We welcome Scott as the first of several expected hires to Lynker Space, and look forward to leveraging his deep experience and expertise to help advance space weather forecasting for use by numerous industries.”
Lynker is excited to announce the launch of Lynker Space! This new space weather forecasting capability allows us to provide high-precision, industry-specific forecasts and alerts to mitigate damaging and disruptive impacts to vulnerable assets, infrastructure and services near and on Earth.
Space weather presents a perpetual threat — even minor solar storms can have major impacts — and we now have the technology to deliver tailored forecasts for different needs and sectors (satellite operators, space traffic management, aviation, energy, GPS and more) with enough lead time to reduce the risk of operational and financial impacts while ensuring continuous and reliable performance.
We are fortunate to have renowned space weather expert, Scott McIntosh, spearheading this effort as Lynker’s new Vice President of Space Operations. Scott has more than 25 years experience as a solar and astrophysical researcher and most recently served as Deputy Director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Lynker has won a five-year, $125 million ProTech Oceans task order from NOAA’s National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) to provide a broad range of technical services supporting the operation and maintenance of the world’s largest maritime observing network, which provides essential information to support the protection of life and property.
“We look forward to providing end-to-end services and growing this critical national observing capability, which is at the core of NDBC’s mission to protect lives, ensure maritime safety, and enhance coastal economies,” said Joe Linza, Lynker Founder and CEO.
Lynker and its team members—ECS, SoFar Ocean, and GDIT—have decades of experience supporting NOAA. The Lynker-led team will ensure uninterrupted delivery of high-quality data from NDBC’s observing network; assemble and repair environmental data platforms and networks; test and transition new technology; and ensure facility safety and environmental compliance.
Lynker is thrilled to win another ProTech Oceans task order called NOAA NOS (National Ocean Service) ONMS (Office of National Marine Sanctuaries) Stakeholder, Administrative & GIS Support Services contract. We will provide stakeholder, administrative, and GIS services supporting two NOAA sanctuaries along California’s central coast, The Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary.
The Lynker Team is thrilled to be awarded NOAA’s National Ocean Service, Office of National Marine Sanctuaries Administrative, Resource Protection, and Technical Support Services contract!
Our support includes resource protection, government and community relations, and visitor center operations for Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS). Together, we’re committed to protecting our ocean treasures and promoting a sustainable future.
Lynker delivers innovative solutions to support global environmental security and economic prosperity as a trusted partner to governments, communities, and industry. We are a premier science, engineering, and technology company supporting some of the nation’s most important missions.
