About K2 Space

k2space.com

K2 Space develops a satellite bus that delivers the capabilities of large, high‑performance satellites at the price point and production speed of small satellites, breaking the historic correlation between mass and cost. Their multi‑orbit, high‑capability spacecraft are designed for commercial, scientific, and defense missions that need heavier payloads, longer lifetimes, and greater onboard performance than typical smallsats. K2 emphasizes rapid production and lower cost‑per‑kg through a scalable, purpose‑built architecture, enabling customers to field enterprise‑grade space systems faster and more affordably than with traditional large satellites.
