K+ Update | Q1 2025

Our colleague Dianna Velez presented some of our work on mission design and spacecraft autonomy during the AAS/AIAA conference in August 2024. AAS24_Karman+HighFrontierAAS24_Karman+HighFrontier.pdf15 MBdownload-circle

Our theme in the last couple of months has been vertical integration. Our original (pretty naive) assumption was that the massive expansion of activity in space had created a somewhat reliable base of components that we could use for missions. We knew that most of that was developed for low

Happy International Asteroid Day everyone! This update covers our work on open-sourcing our roadmap and development, as well as our work on High Frontier with a deepdive into our work on excavation technology for 0G.

We are mining asteroids to supply the space economy. We want to move polluting industries away from Earth and into space. Enabling that requires us to rethink where we source natural resources to build robust systems of energy generation as well as heavy industry in Earth orbit. This will require

Hi everyone, This quarter was another exciting and challenging one for the industry at large. Lots of activity on the moon, another Starship launch and amazing science results such as the magnetic field imaging of black hole Sag A* shown above. Macro & Market This quarter was a great showreel

The core idea behind space-based solar power is to build massive power stations in orbit, leveraging the fact that solar power in space is available permanently (no day-night cycle, clouds or shadow reducing solar yield) at a higher intensity than available on Earth. Power is harvested continuously and beamed down
