Array Labs creates powerful, modular, and flexible radar systems designed for mass production. The company's core technology is Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), but they are not making a classic single SAR satellite, but a cluster of satellites working together (multistatic SAR). Its distributed radar clusters achieve higher power, greater sensitivity, and greater flexibility compared to traditional radar systems, supporting native 3D imaging and real-time MTI. The company also provides continuously refreshed, global elevation datasets with up to 10 centimeter resolution. Array Labs collaborates with Mitsubishi Electric to develop and bring to market satellite-based maritime and aircraft tracking services for defense and security customers in the Asia Pacific Region

Starcloud offers cloud computing and data relay to satellites in space. The company has already launched a satellite with an Nvidia H100 GPU into orbit, becoming the first to launch a LLM on a powerful Nvidia GPU beyond Earth. The satellite also carries Gemma, Google's open source large-scale language model. This makes it the world's first data center for AI in space.

K2 Space specializes in building large satellites that serve as platforms for multiple third-party modules. These satellites became possible with the advent of large launch vehicles like the Falcon 9. Their advantage is high reliability and lower launch/servicing costs for each individual module. This is important for commercial, scientific and defense applications. The company's first satellite, K2 Mega (scheduled for launch in 2026), can carry a payload of up to one ton. It' designed for multi-orbit operations, protected from the harshest conditions of the solar system and is engineered with redundancy and reliability techniques historically reserved for crewed spacecraft like Dragon and the Space Shuttle. Its $15 million cost was achieved through the development of new systems, such as power supply, attitude control, thermal management.

Orbital aims to develop a system comprising thousands of space-based data centers focused on AI inferencing. Orbital is working on a satellite-based data center platform focused on AI inferencing that, if all goes to plan, will eventually scale up to about 10,000 low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Its first space-based test is slated for 2027.

Venus Aerospace has developed Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) which is theoretically more efficient way to launch rockets. Instead of burning propellants in a round chamber, the engine creates a continual supersonic wave of combustion that rotates through a circular channel. It allows to waste less propellant. Now, the company is focused on hypersonic weapons development, replacing the solid rocket motors that power many missiles with its own thruster, and high-speed space vehicles that appeal to the military.

Satellogic is democratizing access to space data by significantly lowering barriers to obtaining real-time satellite access. It is a vertically integrated geospatial company that manages its own constellation of low-orbit satellites. Satellogic has developed and produces a more compact, lightweight, and cost-effective platform for observation satellites and offers clients both data access and satellite leasing. Vertical integration across all stages—design, production, and operations—allows the company to reduce intermediary costs.

Virgin Galactic is Richard Branson's company that develops commercial spacecraft and offers suborbital spaceflights to space tourists. Its spacecraft are launched from the air from beneath a carrier aircraft. After launch, the spacecraft travels another hundred kilometers, providing tourists with a weightless experience for several minutes. At the end of the flight, the capsule carrying the tourists descends via parachute. The company has already completed dozens of successful launches. A ticket for a space tourist costs approximately $750,000.
