ABOUT US
From Earth to cislunar space and beyond, we are providing services that will advance the journey of humans to the stars. Our team is transforming space commerce beyond Earth orbit by providing the space infrastructure required to travel through and operate in deep space more safely, reliably, affordably, and routinely.
One step at a time, we are building the space superhighway, a network in cislunar space to provide customers with space situational awareness, edge computing, communications, position, navigation, and timing. Beginning with our first mission, we will offer data products derived from Quantum spacecraft in cislunar space.
Quantum Space is poised to take full advantage of the uncharted, untapped volume of cislunar space to benefit our customers. We understand our customers needs. By generating and delivering value to them, we help them achieve successful missions.
