Six ways we work with partners.
Prime / subcontractor
We team as a prime on programs where our four-layer stack is the right fit, and as a subcontractor on programs led by a larger integrator. We negotiate teaming agreements before proposal deadlines, not during them.
Platform co-development
Platform-level joint development on lunar, cislunar, or defense programs that combine our hardware and software stack with partner capabilities in adjacent areas (propulsion, launch, payload, ground segment).
Integration and hosting
Third-party payloads hosted on our platforms. Third-party software running on our autonomy stack. Clear interface control, predictable integration schedules, and documented support.
Technology partnerships
Licensing, cross-licensing, and joint IP arrangements with commercial technology partners whose components sit upstream or downstream of our systems.
Consortia and standards
Participation in industry consortia and consensus standards efforts where coordination reduces cost and schedule risk across the ecosystem.
University and research labs
Collaborative research on autonomy, sensing, materials, and manufacturing processes, including formal CRADA structures where appropriate.
Where partners plug in.
Each platform is built with documented interfaces for third-party integration. Detailed interface control documents and accommodation specifications are available under NDA.
Modular payload accommodation with published mechanical, power, thermal, and data interfaces.
Cislunar communications and PNT services available on a per-mission or subscription basis.
API-delivered analytics outputs and platform-level integration for customer data pipelines.
Precision machining, metal additive, and composite fabrication for partner-designed flight hardware.
