Quantum Space.
Uniting Earth and Space with Seamless Connectivity.
We’re building an ecosystem of connected spacecraft and data platforms to serve evolving customer needs in GEO and beyond.
Commercial and government customers need reliable, efficient operations and data services beyond the boundaries of LEO. Quantum Space’s growing network of vehicles and data gathering capabilities do just that — help organizations travel through, and operate in, deep space more safely, reliably, affordably, and routinely than ever before.
With LEO increasingly congested with satellites and orbital debris, Quantum Space is laser focused on unleashing the full potential of GEO and protecting the life-saving services and game-changing advantages delivered from the deeper orbit and beyond. Our modular fleet of vehicles not only transports and hosts payloads, but also collects, processes and disseminates data to enable rapid, sustained innovation, support economic activity, advance scientific discovery and protect national security.
The world is moving beyond Earth, and even beyond the LEO space to push farther into space - Quantum Space will be there ready to support the next wave of expansion and development.
The Quantum Space Offer:
Frequent and Predictable Missions. We will be delivering payloads and hosted assets direct-to-GEO and cislunar space.
Always-On Data Services. We’ll collect, process, and disseminate data from multiple orbits, allowing access to critical information for national security, space situational and domain awareness , communication, navigation, and debris mitigation information.
Reliable In-Space Logistics. Quantum’s combined payload and data transport services form a rich network of space infrastructure necessary to effectively and efficiently operate in GEO, xGEO or cislunar space.
Our Fleet
RANGER
The Ranger is a modular spacecraft that has been right-sized to meet even the most robust and rugged dynamic space operations requirements of the Department of Defense in GEO, cislunar, and deep space. The Ranger is powered by storable chemical propulsion and can transport rideshare payloads, from cubesats to larger OTVs, up to 1500kg to GEO and 2500kg to cislunar orbits. The adaptable Ranger is stackable, enabling defense and corporate missions to expand on demand and travel from the launch pad to GEO in about 30 days.
SCOUT
Our Scout vehicles are smaller than Rangers, and are nimble by design. They are the data-collection workhorses of the family, and play an important part in the Quantum Space ecosystem. They provide the redundancy and reliability required by military and commercial programs. The multi-modal spacecraft can spin around and capture images and collect data, while also being part of a global communications network.
Our Story
Quantum Space was founded to become the premier space infrastructure and services company, particularly in the beyond-LEO orbits. The idea was to fill a hole in the market for access to this underserved area of space. The co-founders were space industry veterans who each had 30+ years of experience in aerospace developing, launching, and operating complex space systems. They envisioned a space infrastructure and services company that would lower the barriers to entry to this ever-growing market and drive innovation that will unleash new discoveries and economic activity that will benefit humankind.
Quantum Space is just the latest of ventures by Kam Ghaffarian, a space and energy entrepreneur who has co-founded many leading new space companies, including IBX Intuitive Machines, Axiom Space and X-energy.
