We're excited to see the successful Starship orbital launch and re-entry. The satellite we're building today, the Mega class satellite, is made to package 10 inside of a Falcon 9. It will fit 50 inside of a Starship. This is the mass abundant future we're moving towards - and

Amazing first full-scale test by @SpaceX and nice to see the ground assets unscathed. The promise of vastly increased mass and volume to orbit is getting closer. We aim to be ready to take advantage of it. Good luck to the SpaceX team as they prepare for the next test.

Neel and Karan sat down with @breadfrom from @TechCrunch to discuss new contracts, funding and hardware development. The future platform in space has higher power, can handle higher orbits, and can be delivered rapidly - filling a significant gap in our current industrial base.

A lot of people associate space with their childhood - at @K2SpaceCo we hope to help make those childhood dreams a reality. We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Ashrith Balakumar, our Head of Product Engineering who comes to us from @SpaceX.
