Orbital Paradigm

We build a small space transportation vehicle to solve the bottleneck in return from space to Earth, to enable the expansion of industrial production to space.

The next cancer treatment, and the next breakthrough material will be manufactured in space: there are close to 100 companies investigating and experimenting in orbit. While there are 100+ opportunities to launch to space every year, you can only return your product to Earth 3-4 times a year.

Because of this we're building Kestrel, a small highly autonomous sw-centric spacecraft enabling weekly return from space, with low stress on the payload, high accuracy and low cost.
