About Katalyst Space Technologies
katalystspace.comKatalyst Space Technologies provides in‑space servicing solutions that let satellite operators upgrade, augment, and extend the life of spacecraft after launch. Their approach gives satellites a “second chance” by enabling post‑launch capability refreshes and repairs that would otherwise require replacement missions. By delivering on‑orbit upgrades and life‑extension services, Katalyst helps reduce fleet costs, accelerate technology refresh cycles, and increase mission flexibility for commercial and government customers.
