Segal Aerospace

Orbital systems and launch. Space infrastructure and exploration.

Overview

One prime. The whole arc.

Segal Aerospace is a vertically integrated space prime. We design and manufacture spacecraft and flight software, broker every major launch provider, and operate missions end to end — one company from inception, through execution, to ongoing operation.

The catalog runs from the 12U SF-12 to the GEO-class SF-GEO, every bus flying the common Foundry Edge avionics stack, with a first-party payload line: ClearView electro-optical, SAR-X radar, PA-Ka phased-array comms. Launch is brokered across every provider or flown on the reusable Ascend fleet. Missions are planned, tasked, and flown 24/7 from the Orbital Foundry console.

The arc does not stop at orbit. Habitats assembled and printed in space through ISAM, crew-ahead colonization nodes, and the Deep Space program — identify, terraform, develop — carry one algorithm to different boundary conditions.

Capabilities
PLATFORMS

Spacecraft buses

Four SF-series buses — SF-12, SF-150, SF-500, SF-GEO — manufactured in-house from 12U CubeSat to GEO-class, configured and ordered against a live constraint engine.

PAYLOADS

Sensors & comms payloads

A first-party catalog rated for the SF series: ClearView electro-optical, SAR-X synthetic aperture radar, PA-Ka phased-array comms, HyperView hyperspectral, OptiLink optical crosslink, RF-Sentinel.

AVIONICS

Foundry Edge avionics

One flight-software platform across every bus — on-orbit edge compute, AI inference, autonomy, and secure C2, updated over the air. Write once, fly everywhere.

LAUNCH

Launch vessels & brokerage

The reusable Ascend fleet — Ascend-1, Ascend-Heavy, Ascend-Super, Skybridge — flown alongside provider-agnostic brokerage, integration, and range support.

OPERATIONS

Mission operations

24/7 operations from commissioning to end of life: ground-station network, contact scheduling, telemetry, commanding, and data delivery from the Orbital Foundry console.

HABITATS

Orbital habitats

Bastion Module, Keystone Station, Halo Outpost, and the spin-gravity Foundry Ring — stations assembled and printed on orbit through the ISAM thesis.

DEEP SPACE

Deep space

Identify, terraform, develop. Candidate worlds scored on the World Suitability Index; planetary engineering sequenced in phases with honest horizons.

RESEARCH

Advanced programs

ISAM, advanced propulsion, cislunar & space-domain awareness, swarm autonomy, and on-orbit servicing — active research tracks marked by maturity.

Case Studies
CISLUNAR · IN DEV

Regolith Bench

Lands a Segal printer at the lunar south pole and prints structural elements from local regolith — the first autonomous build off Earth, run jointly with Segal Development.

CISLUNAR · IN DEV

Prospect One

South-polar ice and resource prospecting survey — maps extractable water ice across permanently shadowed regions and feeds the World Suitability Index with ground truth.

CISLUNAR · CONCEPT

First Light

Pre-deployed, self-printing habitat reference. The structure lands, surveys, and prints itself — sealed and waiting when the crew arrives.

MARS · CONCEPT

Red Survey

Orbital and surface characterization campaign at Mars — subsurface ice, mineralogy, hazards, and constructability graded to regional detail before anything is built.

MARS · LONG HORIZON

Worldhouse

Paraterraforming proof-of-concept: a sealed engineered volume holding a breathable, regulated atmosphere. Livability inside a boundary before livability across a planet.

EXOWORLDS · CONCEPT

Far Watch

Deep-space observatory for exoplanet survey — transit, radial-velocity, and spectroscopic characterization scoring exoworlds into the World Suitability Index.
