Description
K2 Space provides the ability to deploy a constellation of 4+ highly performant satellites of up to 1-ton payload each, on a single Starship launch. K2 Space is building satellite platforms for the next generation of heavy and super heavy lift space launch vehicles exemplified by SpaceX’s Starship and Blue Origin’s New Glenn by using a novel engineering approach of accepting higher mass in order to provide greater performance in power, propulsion, thermal management, and radiation shielding at a cost that is an order of magnitude lower than existing providers.
