0:00 /0:07 1× With all of the parts and components for our spacecraft ordered and on their way, we are currently going through rapid iterations of our design with a series of full scale builds. These engineering models help identify issues and challenges early, as well as test

0:00 /1:13 1× We are in full build&test mode at the moment, across all of the components on our spacecraft. Design->Build->Test->Break->Redesign This last quarter was a bit of a disappointment for lunar activity (ispace' Hakuta-R mission 2

Supply chain was top of mind in the last couple of months, both strategically (what do we purchase and from whom, what do we build/run in house?) as well as tactically (what kind of impact will tariffs have?) for everything from raw materials to finished parts. The tactical stuff

In 2026, Karman+ will be flying ‘High Frontier’, our first mission to a near-Earth asteroid. We are focused on carbonaceous asteroids, both for their water content as well as for their physical composition. Our primary mission goal is to explore and test our excavation equipment and validate the feasibility of

Hi everyone, New platform and framework for these updates, we hope this all works. Market The capital markets are still quite choppy, both for venture in general as well as for space in particular. With the collapse of Virgin Orbit, dramatically lower share prices for most of the space SPACs

Technical Dispatches, as related by the team behind Karman+, are intended to bring readers behind the scenes and into the research. We dig into the intellectual and logistical challenges Karman+ will navigate on the path to near-zero gravity excavation. Karman+ is on a course to excavate material from asteroids, the
