Overview
Company Summary
Momentus Inc. is a space transportation company based in Santa Clara, California. The company specializes in providing last-mile delivery services for satellites and other payloads into space.
Momentus focuses on solving the challenge of transportation within space by using both in-space and in-orbit vehicles. They have developed a unique water-based propulsion technology called "water plasma propulsion," which is safer and more efficient than traditional propulsion systems. This technology enables Momentus to offer cost-effective and flexible transportation solutions for a variety of customers, including satellite operators, space agencies, and commercial space companies.
The company's in-space vehicles, known as "tugs," are designed to transport satellites or payloads from low Earth orbit (LEO) to higher orbits, such as geostationary orbit (GEO) or medium Earth orbit (MEO). Momentus uses small and versatile tugs that can be deployed as part of a larger launch mission or as standalone missions. These tugs allow satellites to be delivered to their precise targets, reducing the cost and time required for orbital maneuvering.
In addition to their in-space vehicles, Momentus also provides in-orbit services. These services include satellite deployment, repositioning, and end-of-life deorbiting. By helping operators extend the lifespan and maximize the utility of their satellites, Momentus contributes to the sustainability of the space industry.
Overall, Momentus Inc. specializes in the delivery and transportation of satellites and payloads within space using innovative propulsion technologies. Their services help satellite operators and space companies efficiently navigate and utilize the vast expanse of space.
