Strength among the stars

The next front line is above us

Hands assembling spacecraft electronics as light catches the hardware

Fortastra builds spacecraft to defend the infrastructure that sits in Space. We combine commercial components and careful engineering into low-cost, maneuverable systems that make orbital defense practical at scale.

Defense can’t depend on distant sensors and delayed answers. Fortastra’s spacecraft autonomously navigate to see what happened, understand why, and respond before an anomaly becomes a serious threat.

Built for proliferation

Designed to be cost-conscious so defense can scale to protect entire orbits.

Integrated with autonomy

Interoperable, open architecture software to sense, maneuver, coordinate, and respond when human operators can't stay in the loop

Validated in hardware

Proven through real component testing, rapid iteration simulation, and orbital testbeds.
