Turion Space is proud to be recognized by Built In as one of the Best Places to Work 2026. This recognition isn’t just about perks (yes, there is nitro cold brew on tap)…but about the culture we’ve built to tackle missions that matter. Being named a Best Place to Work reaffirms the strength of our team and the environment we’ve built around delivering advanced spacecraft tech and operational excellence. Every milestone we achieve is powered by people who share a commitment to solving hard problems and shaping the future of space operations. With that, we’re honored by this recognition and excited for what's ahead! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gnm9mk7V

Turion Space Acquires Tychee Research Group to Accelerate Autonomous Space Operations We’re thrilled to announce that Turion Space Corp. has acquired Tychee Research Group, bringing Tychee’s world-class astrodynamics team and its flagship Tychee Mission Planning Library (TMPL) into our Starfire platform. This integration enables fast and resilient software-defined space missions: - Mission planning & maneuver optimization - Autonomous operations - Real-time, high-fidelity mission engineering Why this matters: Space missions demand faster planning cycles, higher fidelity, and real-time adaptability. By embedding TMPL into Starfire, we’re delivering an end-to-end mission-engineering SDK that runs the same algorithms on the ground and onboard spacecraft, securely and at scale. What’s next: - End-to-end mission ownership for faster intent-to-execution - Autonomous, software-defined operations for advanced missions - Scaled adoption across government, commercial, and academic sectors Rob Brady, founder of Tychee, will join Turion as Chief Product Officer. We're excited to welcome Rob and the Tychee team! Together, we’re building the infrastructure that makes orbit usable, scalable, and secure.

Turion started as a small team trying to prove out a product vision. Years later, scaling companies like ours are now demonstrating our ability to perform on missions that matter—and gaining recognition for it. Dr. Kelly Hammett's mention of Turion in the article below highlights what sets us apart: our customers consider us one of the most promising upcoming providers for advanced maneuverable spacecraft technology, a critical capability for U.S. space superiority in the years ahead.

We're proud to welcome Lt. Gen. (Ret.) DeAnna Burt as an Advisor to Turion Space. A career space operator with 33+ years of Air Force and Space Force experience, Lt. Gen. Burt most recently served as US Space Force Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Operations, Cyber, and Nuclear at the Pentagon. She brings mission-tested expertise across multi-domain operations, planning, and strategy—from tactical to strategic command assignments. Lt. Gen. Burt will help shape Turion's approach to national security product development, partnerships, and mission operations as we deliver speed, security, and mission readiness to government and commercial customers. We're honored to have her leadership and insight on board.

Last month, in partnership with Critical Software, our orbital validation platform NEXUS successfully executed third-party flight software in live operational conditions. The Karvel platform from Critical Software achieved Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 8 aboard Turion's DROID.002. NEXUS allows customers to upload, test, and run software on-orbit without needing to operate their own satellites. NEXUS delivers rapid, safe, on-orbit validation of edge-compute workloads with full spacecraft control retained by Turion. Our integration with Critical Software demonstrates Turion's ability to partner with third parties and achieve real-world mission outcomes today.
