ISRU (In Situ Resource Utilization)
On-Orbit Servicing
- Status
- Early stage, Dormant
- First launch
- Not announced
Our vision is to build the tools which will ensure spacecraft and infrastructure can be serviced, repurposed, and assembled in orbit and on other planets.
Modular Robotic Arm for Small Satellites. We build robots for sustainable space industrialisation.
Status Comment / Notes
Idea seems to have changed. Previously was about building the solution to In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) of lunar regolith to manufacture metal parts on the lunar surface. However, as of early 2023 seems to be a robotic arm hardware product manufacturer. "Dormant" status applies to the previous ISRU idea.
