About the Company

Space Kinetic is a dual use space technology startup building a completely new architecture for space operations – one that brings the advantages of proliferated drone technology (low-cost, operationally flexible, attainable, distributed) to space missions while reducing the ecosystem's reliance on consumable fuel. In a world where many companies are focused on incrementally improving the status quo, we are focused on creating something entirely different – an architecture underpinned by new first principles to meet the opportunities and challenges of the third space age head-on. Our goal is to move away from one-to-one space architectures – where each satellite in a constellation has one (or a small # of) primary payloads attached to the bus -- and unlock a ‘one-to-many’ system, where each satellite has a large number of payloads which can be deployed from their host spacecraft at high velocities without firing a thruster.

This is not a role for someone looking for a traditional 40-hour work week. Space Kinetic is building ambitious, first-of-its-kind technology, and that requires urgency, ownership, and a high level of commitment to changing the foundational assumptions for everything we do in space.

Company profile

Space Kinetic

spacekinetic.com

Space Kinetic is a venture-backed startup rethinking space operations from first principles to support national security priorities, including missile defense and space superiority. Its Whirlwind platform deploys micro-payloads from a host spacecraft at high velocities without firing a thruster, decoupling the propulsion system from the payload. The company is building a scalable one-to-many architecture for space missions that aims to make space maneuver abundant and space systems affordable.
