Space Phoenix
"Third Party Logistics (imagine 'FedEx') for space"
Returnable Payload on-Demand (R/PoD)
Our Vision: A vibrant and easily utilized Low Earth Orbit for anyone
The Problem: Needs of the Global Space Industry are not being met
There are few easy options to get stuff to space
Options are very costly, and limited in scope and scale
Forced vertical integration is stifling innovation
Our Mission - Rapid delivery and return of cargo-agnostic payloads at dramatically lower investment, launch, and operational costs
The Solution: Simplifying Space Payload Delivery and Return
Phoenix R/POD
Returnable Payload-on-Demand
Reusable Spacecraft
Dramatically reduced costs, ~60% or more reduction
Disruptive Business Model
Pay for only what you need and advance reservations
High Operational Cadence
Operation at a speed that meets market needs
Global Infrastructure Strategy
Fleet of spacecraft large enough to meet global demand
Our Offering - Simplifying Space Payload Delivery
We are building the infrastructure that allows space to be rapidly
accessed and utilized
Selling the "wagons and shovels" of the new space gold rush
Reusable Spacecraft
Fully reusable, capable of multiple launches and re-entries
Cost per kilo dramatically lower than
current market options
High Operational Cadence
Compatible with any global launch system
Launch agreements across industry, moving at the speed of the market
Rapid Tactical Systems Integration
Quickly configurable to host diverse payloads
We move speed of the market to match unmet demand
New Revenue Model
e-Commerce model to deliver payloads - Returnable Payload on Demand (R/PoD)
Current industry standards are 18 - 24 months to launch, SPS plans on reducing this to under 6 months
Current Payload-to-Space Operations Model
High expenses and a "one-and-done" model is holding back the space industry.
Options for upgrades, repairs, and reuse are limited to launching more and more satellites.
The current payload-to-space process is
costly, inflexible, and limits innovation.
