Team Intro Video

Problem

Lack of dual-use, multidomain technologies keep industry and government from reacting to market and defense needs.

Solution

We design advanced RF, Lidar and power generation components with high-throughput production capabilities in mind (up to thousands of units per year) in order to manufacture inexpensively and quickly to meet the quantities needed for multi-domain operations.

Momentum Highlights

$1.25M Air Force D2P21x PHI NASA SBIR award ($150k)1x PHII NASA SBIR award ($899k)2x private contracts (BAE $28k, Weather Stream $60k)Aerospace Prime support (BAE, T2S, Space Data)DoD customer support (Catalyst Accelerator, ARL CRADA)$170k founder fundingProvisional Patent>$6M in proposals

Business Model

R&D Grants - $10's of millions through a PHIII or OTAHardware Sales - $100's of millions in Dual-use RF antennas for Radar, Coms, electronic warfare, directed energy, etc. (Army, USSF, USAF)Software sales - $1's of millions licensing our GPU accelerated FEA software.Data Sales - $100's of millions selling earth observation data (topology, weather, SAR), space domain awareness data

Team Overview

At Origami Space, our team has a proven track record of innovation, expertise, and success. Our founders bring together decades of experience in aerospace engineering, advanced materials science, software development, and business development ensuring that we not only understand the complexities of satellite & defense technology and push the boundaries of what's possible, but also capture customers that drive revenue. Our in-house analysis software for real-time structural simulation of origami designs paired with the ability to manufacture components allows us to go from design to prototype in days, not months. Our team is driven by a shared vision to revolutionize space & defense technology, backed by a strong network of industry connections.

ICP

Aerospace Primes, DoD, Gov't, Civil Space, Commercial Space

Competition

SAR - Tendeg/Capella/Umbra/Iceeye, Space payloads - Redwire, NG, L3, York High Altitude Balloon payloads - Urban Sky

Key Differentiator

Manufacturing process, proprietary software design tools developed in house, patentable technology, we can go from design to prototype of thin folding structures in days.

Why Now?

Dual-use technology market pull, Defense budget, commercial space momentum, smaller more capable satellites are easier to scale.
