OUR MISSION
SpaceFab™ is currently building its first generation satellite, a space telescope with 50 cm (20 inch) optics, to be launched in 2023. We will provide a service for researchers, corporations, and the general public to schedule astronomical observation as well as Earth observation using our space telescope. Customers will also have access to archived space and Earth imagery.
Our unique compact and light imaging satellite design has a more than ten times cost advantage over comparable imaging satellites.
Our ultimate goal is to build a family of robotic asteroid mining and manufacturing satellites that can make, form, weld, and assemble metal parts into larger structures. We are working to reduce the cost of manufacturing in space to the point where it will be less expensive to manufacture in space than to manufacture on Earth. This will enable the construction of large objects in space that are currently too costly to implement. We are using the latest advances in robotics, electric propulsion, and 3D printing technologies to provide an Internet based service which would allow everyone the ability to manufacture objects in space.
