Making previously impossible missions possible
K2 Space maximizes the amount of power, mass and volume that can be deployed with today's launch vehicles
The paradox
In spacecraft design, we have always had to choose between
High Power + High Cost or Low Power + Low Cost
K2 Satellite BUs
THe K2 Bus
Delivers high power at a low cost
Multi-manifests up to 10 in existing launch vehicles
traditional large satellites
> 48 month design cycle
> $100M+ cost per satellite
Constrained, legacy supply chain of space-optimized parts
Significant redesign based on target orbit
< 3-months from procurement to spacecraft readiness, using production line style builds
$15M cost per satellite
Broad supply chain of commercial parts
Designed from the start to handle the environments of LEO, MEO, GEO and Cislunar space
More mass = more capabilities
The power of high throughput satellites
The payload volume of high resolution imaging satellites
The unit economics of small satellite constellations
