K2 Space Corporation

A lot of people associate space with their childhood - at K2 Space Corporation we hope to help make those childhood dreams a reality. We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Neil Forrester, our Principal Software Engineer, who comes to us from SpaceX. What's your earliest memory of space? I’ve been fascinated by space for as long as I can remember, but my first clear memory is reading a book that featured Project Daedalus. The full-page painting of that interstellar fusion rocket really spoke to me! -

We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Minh C., our Head of Enterprise Systems, who comes to us from Resmed and SpaceX. What's your earliest memory of space? Growing up on the family farm in Vietnam during my childhood, I remember looking up at the night sky seeing stars, feeling curious and being in awe of the vastness of space, wondering how the stars look up close. To this day, I love finding Polaris or the Southern Cross wherever I go! -

One launch, three satellites, three orbits. We’re excited to announce our 2027 Trinity mission, which will demonstrate K2 Space’s capability to proliferate satellites across LEO, MEO, and GTO orbits from a single launch. The higher orbits have historically been the hardest orbits to proliferate. Following our 2026 MEO mission, Gravitas, Trinity will represent an acceleration of K2's unique capability to proliferate any orbit - made possible by K2's power, propulsion and radiation tolerant design. Read more about how we’re advancing multi-orbit missions and redefining what’s possible in satellite proliferation. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/g_aMsiQC

We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Tristen Stephens, our Production Technician, who comes to us from Relativity Space and SpaceX. What’s your earliest memory of space?    My earliest memory of space goes back to when I was a kid. My mom had this rule that I had to read at least three books per week, and that’s how I stumbled into Orson Scott Card’s sci-fi novels. They really lit up my imagination about what might be out there. Around the same time, I had this little kids’ telescope, and I’d sit outside under the wide Texas sky, straining to catch even a quick glimpse of the International Space Station. That mix of books and stargazing was the first spark that made space feel both real and full of possibility. -

We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Gavin Martin, our Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, who comes to us from Amazon Project Kuiper and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. What's your earliest memory of space? My passion for space began in a 1st grade classroom vibrantly decorated with Voyager photos. I loved learning about other planets, and my parents fueled my obsession with Solar System books and trips to nearby NASA JSC. I was hooked, and I've been committed to working on space missions ever since! -

We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Kevin R., our Senior Manufacturing Engineer, who comes to us from Millennium Space Systems and OK International, a Dover Company. What's your earliest memory of space? My first memory of space was stargazing on Turtle Rock in Sequoia with my parents and two brothers. Looking up at the crystal-clear star filled sky, I was struck with wonder and thought, "Wow this is AMAZING." That sense of awe has stayed with me ever since! -

We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Brian Borcean, our Satellite Mechanical Engineer, who comes to us from SpaceX. What’s your earliest memory of space? Growing up in Illinois with a big extended family, my parents, brothers, and I often spent weekends and holidays visiting nearby relatives. We’d gather around bonfires, roasting corn, bacon, and making s’mores under open skies. Afterward, I’d wander from the fire to lie in the grass and stargaze — a childhood ritual that’s stuck with me. Watching for shooting stars, tracing constellations, and soaking in the quiet wonder of the night sky never got old. Now, working in the industry, spotting a spacecraft overhead makes it all the more special. -

We’re thrilled to be at Stanford University this week to connect with students about new grad and internship opportunities at K2 Space! Fun fact: Stanford alumni helped invent the GPS technology that powers navigation on satellites, spacecraft, and your phone today. At K2, we’re carrying that same spirit of innovation forward by building mega-class satellite buses with the power of traditional giants - delivered at the speed and cost of SmallSats. Stop by one of our events to meet Stanford alum Paul DeTrempe and K2 employees Samuel Kim and Vanessa (Cannon) Paoletti. ➡️ Tonight, Tuesday, Sept 30 | 4:30 PM | Durand 450 ➡️ Tonight, Tuesday, Sept 30 | 6:30 PM | Automotive Innovation Facility ➡️ Wednesday, Oct 1 | 2 PM | Durand 450 ➡️ Wednesday, Oct 1 | 3:30 PM | Maker Lab64 ➡️ Wednesday, Oct 1 | 5:30 PM | Durand 353

A lot of people associate space with their childhood - at K2 Space Corporation we hope to help make those childhood dreams a reality. We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Saurav Kshetri, our Satellite Mechanical Engineer, who comes to us from NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. What's your earliest memory of space? My first memory of space was seeing images of the Space Shuttle launches. I was amazed by the scale and engineering behind it—the combination of power, precision, and teamwork it takes to send something into orbit. That really shaped my interest in working on hardware that pushes boundaries. -

Our CTO Neel Kunjur joined Payload's Valley of Depth podcast to discuss the technical rationale behind the contrarian bet that became K2. He outlined how K2 Space is moving beyond the limits of smallsats to build satellites with unprecedented power, capability, and resilience. Neel also described how K2 has re-imagined subsystems such as reaction wheels, high-voltage power, and 20 kW propulsion to unlock new mission architectures in MEO, GEO, and beyond. Listen here ⬇️
