Momentus: Pioneering the Future of In-Space Transportation

Mission: Democratizing Space Access

Momentus is on a mission to revolutionize space exploration by making in-space transportation affordable, reliable, and accessible. Our vision is to create a sustainable space economy where satellite deployment, orbital maneuvers, and deep-space missions are no longer constrained by traditional propulsion limitations. By 2030, we aim to reduce the cost of in-space transportation by 50% while increasing mission flexibility by 300%, enabling a new era of satellite constellations, lunar missions, and beyond.

Company Metrics and Growth

Founded in 2017, Momentus has rapidly grown into a leader in space infrastructure, with over 250 employees across the U.S. and Europe. We’ve secured $1.3 billion in customer contracts, including agreements with NASA, private satellite operators, and international space agencies. Our proprietary Vigoride orbital transfer vehicle has successfully demonstrated in-space propulsion, with multiple missions planned through 2025. Momentus is also expanding its Microwave Electrothermal Thruster (MET) technology, which offers unparalleled efficiency for long-duration missions.

Recent Accomplishments and Breakthroughs

- First Commercial Vigoride Mission (2023): Successfully deployed multiple customer payloads, proving our ability to execute complex orbital maneuvers.
- NASA Tipping Point Award (2022): Recognized for advancing in-space propulsion with our MET technology.
- Scalable Propulsion Systems: Developed a modular propulsion architecture that supports missions from LEO to lunar orbits.

Unique Value Proposition

Unlike traditional launch providers, Momentus specializes in last-mile delivery—getting payloads precisely where they need to go in space. Our water-based propulsion system is safer, more sustainable, and cost-effective than chemical alternatives, making us a preferred partner for satellite operators and exploration missions. We’re not just building rockets; we’re building the space logistics network of the future.

Addressing Industry Challenges

The space industry faces critical challenges: orbital debris, high transportation costs, and limited in-space maneuverability. Momentus is tackling these head-on with:
- Sustainable Propulsion: Reducing reliance on toxic fuels.
- Precision Orbital Insertion: Minimizing space debris through controlled deployment.
- Scalable Infrastructure: Enabling on-demand space logistics for emerging markets.

For aerospace engineers and space enthusiasts, Momentus offers a chance to shape the next frontier—where innovation meets impact. Join us in redefining what’s possible in space.
