Our team has been involved with every ISS mission since the program’s inception.
We are making the possibilities of low-Earth Orbit accessible to visionary governments, researchers, manufacturers, and individuals. Because we believe microgravity is the most promising environment for innovation and problem-solving since the Internet.
In 2022, we successfully completed the first private mission to the International Space Station and we are currently building the first commercial space station, set to launch Hab One in 2026; ensuring a brighter future for everyone on Earth and setting our course for life beyond it.
The leadership team includes world-class, specialized expertise in commercial utilization of microgravity, on-orbit operations, astronaut training, space medicine, space system architecture/design/development, engineering, marketing, and law.
