We are reinventing spaceports.
We are reinventing spaceports.
Demand for launch is rising, and spaceports can’t keep up
On the commercial side, New Space requires a new kind of spaceport: high-cadence, fast-turnaround, cost-effective, and in close proximity to manufacturing sites. On the DoD side, responsive space requires responsive spaceports: nimble, survivable, disaggregated. Our spaceport infrastructure combines unique hardware, proprietary software, and one-of-a-kind U.S. government pre-approvals to meet these needs and enable mass transportation to and from orbit.
“One way to make sure the Pentagon can launch anytime, anywhere is by increasing the number of launch providers and pads available to the Defense Department.”
General Chance Saltzman, Chief of Space Operations, USSF
“There’s a growing need for on-demand launch capabilities that can be leveraged to replace or augment satellites.”
Lt. General John Shaw, Deputy Commander of SPACECOM

How it works
1. Rocket is loaded onto launch barge
2. Launch barge moves out to sea
4. Launch barge returns to port
Some of Our Product Offerings:
Exclusive-Use
Customer signs a multi-year lease to have a launcher and launch site on-call to provide fast-turnaround “emergency response” to address a crisis on orbit.
Spaceport as a Service
Multiple customers agree to share one spaceport vessel and one sea-based range. Have your own spaceport and your own launch range for a given period every year.
Campaign
Customer pays for access to a spaceport vessel and sea-based launch range for a one-time campaign. Great way to get started.
Commercial Responsive Launch
Spaceport vessel, launcher, and satellite servicing vehicle are kept “on-call”, ready to launch within hours, to respond to a satellite in distress on orbit.
Our team is composed of launch system and maritime experts
with a proven track record of getting it done.
