ENGINEERING THE FUTURE OF SPACE

TransAstra is making asteroid mining a reality. To do this, we have developed four core capabilities: Detect, Capture, Move, and Process.

Today, we are leveraging our unique Detect capability to find satellites in Cislunar space for the Space Force. Later this year, we will deploy our Capture bag on the International Space Station to enable orbital debris cleanup and promote Responsible Counterspace for the Space Force.

Our Core Capabilities

Detect

Sutter™ Telescope Technology

Our innovative Sutter Telescope system—named after Sutter's Mill in California, where gold was discovered in 1848—enables low-cost telescopes to detect asteroids and other dark, fast-moving objects in space.
