Space Kinetic Corp.

The next 15 years will be pivotal for the Space Force -- and for the broader space ecosystem. There are immense opportunities from LEO through cislunar space, but with those opportunities come increasingly sophisticated and proliferated threats. To navigate this landscape, the Space Force will require new capabilities and a game-changing architecture.   Space Kinetic Corp. is committed to building that architecture. We're starting from new first principles and developing the national security space architecture that scales to meet these challenges head-on.    If you're ready for your next adventure & want to work on the cutting edge, check out our open positions at the link in the comments. https://lnkd.in/gemnxYhF

“We have the most exquisite capabilities on the planet, with a high probability of kill. They do not miss, but they take forever to build. They’re exceptionally expensive, and as a result, I have very small magazine depths because the cost per kill is so high,” said Guetlein. “I have to flip that equation.”   Of the three foundational Nitze criteria for a viable missile defense architecture (effectiveness, resiliency, and cost-effectiveness at the margin), Nitze's third -- cost effectiveness at the margin -- remains the most punishing obstacle.    At Space Kinetic Corp., we are committed to flipping that equation and getting under the affordability curve by rethinking space maneuver from new first principles. Our Whirlwind platform unlocks a virtuous cycle of low cost, low complexity, low mass effectors that can be clustered in deep magazines.    Quantity has a quality all its own. https://lnkd.in/eeFf5hEj

We're excited to share that Space Kinetic Corp. will be attending the 2026 Space Industry Days, hosted by AFCEA Los Angeles.   Meet our Co‑Founder & CTO, Scott Ziegler, who will be on-site connecting with government, industry, and mission partners driving the future of space operations.   At Space Kinetic, we believe that securing the space domain requires more than incremental change. It demands breakthrough innovation, speed, and collaboration. Events like this are essential for aligning emerging technologies with the needs of today’s rapidly evolving operational landscape.   If you’d like to meet with Scott or learn more about how our architecture is shaping the next era of space superiority and in-space maneuver, send us a message. We’d love to connect.

In December, Space Kinetic Corp. Co-Founder & CTO Scott Ziegler had the honor of speaking at the Texas A&M University Daniele Mortari Astronautics Symposium. Scott presented “From Defense to Dual-Use: Applying the Nitze Criteria to Commercial Space for Effectiveness, Survivability, and Cost Efficiency.” Check out his presentation at the link below! https://lnkd.in/eXxUm2-z

Space Kinetic | 2025 Year in Review (Part 2) This year wasn’t just about stepping out of stealth—it was about building momentum with the right partners. One of the most exciting milestones: Draper named Space Kinetic Corp. as its newest DraperSPARX portfolio company, joining a network of innovators shaping the future of space and national security. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver on our vision: rethinking space operations from new first principles—principles that scale and win on the margin.  We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished so far. But we are even more excited for what lies ahead.

The Space Kinetic Corp. team had an incredible time at the Space Power Conference hosted by the Space Force Association (SFA)! It was a productive and inspiring week where we connected with our government customers and industry partners to discuss the future of US space superiority and innovation.. Congratulations to Bill Woolf on his well-deserved retirement—your leadership and contributions have made a lasting impact, and you will be greatly missed. We’re excited to welcome Damon Feltman as the new CEO of SFA. We look forward to collaborating under your leadership and continuing to advance the mission of US space power together. Here’s to building the future of space!

SPACE KINETIC AWARDED DARPA EEI CONTRACT We’re excited to announce an award from the DARPA Commercial Strategy team through the Embedded Entrepreneur Initiative. We’re excited to continue working with them over the course of this effort, which is focused on expanding the Space Kinetic leadership team to more rapidly deliver game-changing national security capabilities for space superiority and missile defense.   Our team is growing fast, and we’re looking for mission-oriented technical leaders who are excited about building completely new technology and solving hard problems on the cutting edge. Check out our open roles at https://lnkd.in/gj8h3Cx9 to learn more.

Next week, we’re heading to Orlando for the Space Force Association Spacepower Conference. Find us at booth 812! Space Kinetic Corp. is pioneering a scalable, “one-to-many” national security space architecture underpinned by our proprietary Whirlwind deployment system.
