OUR DIRECTION

What we are working toward.

Space energy

We aim to generate, store, manage, and deliver energy for people and systems operating in space. This is a development direction; an in-orbit energy demonstration has not taken place.

Space energy plans

Nicolaus 1

Our first planned uncrewed rocket targets at least 100 km in altitude, data transmission and storage, ocean splashdown, and recovery. Flight hardware has not been built.

Nicolaus 1 mission

Moon, Mars, and beyond

Human habitats and space travel are long-term concepts. We distinguish these ambitions from current capabilities. There are no travel bookings, sales, or operations.
