Space

The current design and build paradigm for satellites exploring deep space (hand-built one-offs) is enormously expensive, limiting space exploration to the exclusive realm of Big Science, accessible only by the most well funded public sector entities (NASA, ESA, JAXA). As a result, the exploration of space has been relegated to sporadic, measured, a... nd rare projects, incapable of meeting the burgeoning needs of the larger scientific community. We can change this! By applying modular design in conjunction with modern production techniques and processes, we can dramatically reduce the cost of manufacturing satellites and satellite components, thus empowering a much broader variety of public sector, commercial and academic entities worldwide to participate in the exploration of our solar system. In combination with anticipated near to mid-term decreases in the cost to launch beyond Earth orbit, our Ultra Low Cost Satellite Bus (ULCSB) will make deep space research a routine and ongoing process resulting in a continuous stream of scientifically relevant exploration from every part of the solar system.Read More
