We are building the end-to-end infrastructure that we'll transform space from a domain of isolated missions to a commercially viable industrial ecosystem.
We are building the complete vertical architecture, an integrated, end-to-end space logistics ecosystem.
Increased cadence and access to any orbit inclination required by the customer.
Persistent, scalable orbital platforms — modular by design, expandable over time. Each spaceport node serves as a hub for refueling, servicing, manufacturing, and logistics.
The economic business case for manufacturing on-orbit works when you send raw material up and bring finished material back…with reusable vehicles. The same is true with refueling, the on-orbit fuel tanks must be refueled with reusable fuel transports - our partners provide both.
Our spaceports unlock use cases that have never been operationally viable at scale.
On-orbit refueling unlocks new mission classes, extends asset lifespans, and redefines orbital economics. Missions and Spacecraft are no longer constrained by one-time fuel budgets.
Mission Flexibility · Extended Operations
Microgravity enables the production of advanced materials, next-generation pharmaceuticals, and fiber optics impossible to manufacture on Earth.
Advanced Materials · Pharma · Fiber opticsOrbital recycling converts end-of-life assets into raw material, eliminating debris and creating an entirely new economy.
Asset Longevity · Debris Elimination
Space tugs powered by our refueling infrastructure create a dynamic orbital transportation layer. Cargo, assets, and crew can be repositioned across Earth orbit and beyond — enabling sustained cislunar operations and the first truly interoperable space logistics network.
Space Tugs · Lunar Ops · Deep SpaceNine partners. Nine subsystems. A maturity spectrum spanning TRL 1 to TRL 9 — every component has an identified supplier, a defined engineering path, and active engagement.
Flight Qualified Space Port Backbone from a NASA-aligned partner.
AFRL R&D heritage with pending government contracts and a 2027 flight demonstration.
Multiple fuel transfer mechanisms and vendors available.
DARPA developed integrated cryogenic propellant tanks.
Heat dissipation system for full-scale operations.
Flight-qualified GaN-semiconductor power conditioning. Modular architecture with no traditional power converters required.
Proven Flight Heritage on board the International Space Station.
Full-stack sensor-fusion autonomy stack — decisions made on-orbit, with humans out of the loop.
Major U.S. industrial OEM repurposing existing factory capacity for orbital structural manufacturing.
Partner names, technology specifications, and engagement status are shared with qualified partners under NDA.
Request Partner Detail →Phased construction, milestone-driven capital. The plan is structured to leverage non-dilutive government funding and early commercial contracts at each stage — so each dollar of private capital is matched by a multiple in committed program and customer funding.
Build "the Book" — full engineering blueprint with detailed cost estimates across all nine subsystems. Finalize contractual agreements with the supplier and partner network.
Engage government sponsors for non-dilutive capital — leveraging existing DARPA, AFRL, and U.S. Space Force pedigree across the partner base. Engage private capital for matched funding.
Build and launch the first ¼-scale SpacePort demonstrator — a flight-validated commercial node operating in orbit. Integration of inflatable structure, fuel transfer, cryo storage, power, compute, and autonomy. First commercial revenue.
Scale from ¼ to full SpacePort across all four sections. Complete development of the single-stage-to-orbit refueling vehicle. Network expansion across the cislunar sphere.
Phased milestones are designed so non-dilutive government capital and early commercial contracts cover a substantial portion of the build. Detailed capital plan, customer pipeline, and milestone schedule are shared under NDA.
Our advisors operated, funded, and led the programs we now build alongside — from DARPA's space biotechnology portfolio to AFRL strategic prototyping. The full advisor and prospective-board roster is shared with qualified investors.
