Siobhán Kerrigan

Siobhán Kerrigan leads communications for Halcyon Stellar Works, from launch broadcasts to mission-log storytelling. She ran the press programme for the first crewed flight of the Aurora Mk II and the public debut of the Eidolon Lightsail Prototype, the most-watched event in company history.

Siobhán also oversees the Halcyon blog and insists that engineers write in their own voice. She works from the Toulouse campus in Europe.

Before Halcyon she was a science journalist covering the Mars settlement boom, and she still writes the occasional long-form mission log herself. Siobhán coordinates Halcyon's launch-day livestreams, works with the safety team on incident communications, and coaches spokespeople from every department before they go on stage at conferences and expos across the system.
