About
Spaceium builds fully automated space stations to refuel and repair spacecraft. We have secured $86.1 million in binding commercial contracts and have an additional $230 million in the pipeline. Additionally, we have 1 billion dollars in letters of intent. We have successfully tested our hardware, which will launch to space next year. Our fully automated space stations will efficiently store and transfer both cryogenic (extremely cold) and non-cryogenic fuels with zero loss during storage and transfer. And they can transfer fuel seamlessly to any spacecraft design using our proprietary modular robotic arm. Our customers include launch vehicles, orbital transfer vehicles, moon landers, and spacecraft that benefit from increased payload capacity and extended travel capabilities. Our long-term vision is to build service hubs along the space superhighway to connect Earth to Moon and Mars and help humanity to become multi multi-planetary species
Spaceium is developing automated orbital service stations designed to refuel and repair spacecraft in space. The company engineers modular orbital depots capable of storing and transferring both cryogenic and non-cryogenic propellants with zero boil-off or transfer loss, utilizing a proprietary robotic arm to interface with a wide variety of client spacecraft architectures.
By providing in-space refueling, the firm aims to drastically extend the operational lifespans of orbital transfer vehicles, lunar landers and heavy-lift upper stages, allowing them to carry heavier payloads without being constrained by Earth-launch fuel limits. The company has secured over $86 million in binding commercial contracts and plans to launch its first hardware demonstrator to orbit in the near future.
Ashi Dassanayake and a team of aerospace engineers founded the company. It is based in the United States and targets the establishment of a logistics network stretching from low Earth orbit to cislunar space.
