Overview

• Gravitics received a $60 million Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) award from the U.S. Space Force to develop and demonstrate the Orbital Carrier platform.
• The Orbital Carrier is designed to pre-position satellites in orbit, enabling rapid deployment to multiple orbits in response to emerging threats.
• The platform will shield satellites from harsh space conditions, protect sensitive electronics, and obscure them from adversarial observation.
• This initiative supports the Space Force's broader Tactically Responsive Space program, which aims to enhance rapid-response capabilities and achieve operational readiness by 2026.
• The project highlights collaboration between public and private sectors, with Gravitics leveraging commercial space station technology and matching private investment as part of the STRATFI program.
