Aerodynamicist and 'space environmentalist' Moriba Jah has come aboard the Privateer ship.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak's new space company is really starting to take shape.

Hawaii-based Privateer remains in stealth mode a month after Wozniak and co-founder Alex Fielding announced its existence, but we know the company aims to tackle humanity's growing problem with space junk, which threatens to hinder our exploration of the final frontier.

The company has just hired one of the people who will lead this ambitious effort, tapping aerodynamicist and "space environmentalist" Moriba Jah as its chief scientific adviser.

His knowledge of this issue is only exceeded by his passion for building solutions to address it," Wozniak said in an emailed statement.

"Some might say that Privateer benefits from a connection with my name, whereas I see it as a feather in my cap to be connected to this great group and company," Wozniak said.

He's an expert on space junk and one of the leading voices urging humanity to do something about it. .

"My work has been heavily involved in science and technology research focused on space safety, security and sustainability," Jah said in the same statement.
