Unorthodox strategy aims to put Seattle-area space startup in the fast lane for going public — and boost the development of orbital carriers.

Regulatory filings reveal the company will build spacecraft for Lockheed Martin and detail Gravitics’ plans to go public

Alors que les entreprises privées multiplient les projets de production et d'expérimentation en orbite, une question devient centrale : comment faire redescendre leurs matériaux sur Terre ? La NASA an...

Renvoyer des colis depuis l'espace pourrait bientôt devenir aussi simple que de les déposer à un point relais. C'est le pari audacieux d'une start-up américaine qui s'apprête à concevoir, avec le soutien de l'agence spatiale américaine, un véritable entrepôt orbital pour fluidifier le trafic descendant.

Gravitics, Inc., an orbital infrastructure company, today announced it has been selected by NASA for a 2026 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I award. The award supports development of the Multiple-Downmass Hangar, a system for affordable and frequent commercial sample return from low Earth orbit. The Multiple-Downmass Hangar is designed to hold multiple return vehicles on a single orbital platform, ready to bring samples and other materials produced on-orbit back to Earth without waiting for a dedicated return flight. Material return remains a constraint for customers conducting research or manufacturing on-orbit.

Orbital Carrier Space startup Gravitics has been awarded a $60 million contract by the US Space Force to develop an "orbital carrier" that can deploy satellites from orbit. As Ars Technica reports, such a spacecraft could give the military a much faster way to respond to threats to national security in orbit compared to sending a satellite on a rocket into space. While many questions remain about what exactly this carrier could be capable of, it's yet another sign that the US military is looking to beef up its presence in orbit, highlighting a brewing "space arms race." Space Superiority […]
