Space Kinetic is a space technology company developing the Whirlwind platform, a novel operating system for space that enables abundant maneuverability at competitive costs. The Whirlwind architecture deploys micro-payloads from a host spacecraft at high velocities without thrusters, decoupling the propulsion system from the payload to overcome the constraints of the rocket equation. Space Kinetic's highly scalable, 'one-to-many' mission architecture is designed to win on the affordability curve for space operations.
