Reusable Satellites for zero-g manufacturing

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build reusable satellites specifically designed to enable manufacturing in microgravity. Our spacecraft host manufacturing payloads and can return to Earth for refurbishment and redeployment. This approach lowers costs and enables new materials and processes impossible on Earth.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Atlanta, GA, and the company is based there now. After YC, we plan to stay founded in Atlanta but will expand outreach and partnerships in key space hubs.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Atlanta gives us access to a broad engineering talent pool and a low-cost operating environment. It's unconventional for aerospace, which keeps competition low and lets us build efficiently.
