O que TransAstra Corporation faz
With five issued patents covering our core business lines, and more than a dozen additional patents pending this year and more than $5M in revenue, TransAstra is developing the technologies that will drive the rapidly expanding space economy. Our breakthrough Omnivore propulsion system can propel spacecraft, including our Worker Bee commercial OTV with water or virtually any other fluid as a propellant using only concentrated sunlight as a power source. Omnivore is faster, cheaper, and more practical than electric propulsion while being substantially less expensive, safer, and more operationally flexible than legacy chemical propulsion systems. Our Sutter Telescope System can identify and locate resource-rich asteroids and orbital debris that existing technologies can’t find and works synergistically with our Worker Bee OTV for orbital logistics. For government customers, Sutter can identify dark fast-moving objects between Earth and the Moon which currently evade detection, a critical issue for national defense and a key need of the Space Force. We are already using Sutter in ground-based observatories and will begin commercial sales of Sutter SDA data next month having tracked dozens of faint moving objects in space already. Once launched into space, Sutter will be 300,000 times more cost effective than any other known telescope design and will revolutionize sense making in space.

Orbital logistics: Unleashing space industry, from Earth to asteroids
We build the Omnivore propulsion system that uses concentrated sunlight to propel spacecraft with water or other fluids, making them faster and cheaper than electric or chemical propulsion. We also develop the Sutter Telescope System to detect hard-to-see asteroids and orbital debris for commercial and government customers, enabling new space logistics and safety capabilities.
We live in Los Angeles, CA, and plan to remain based there after YC.
Los Angeles is home to our team and close to the growing commercial space ecosystem we serve. It offers access to partners and resources essential to developing our propulsion and sensing technologies.
