Raven Space Systems

Raven Space Systems is building the world's first entirely 3D printed reentry capsules for on-demand cargo return from space. Outdated reentry capsule production has led to a bottleneck for the International Space Station which spends over $1B annually on cargo transport but only returns experiments to Earth twice per year. The demand for high-frequency and low-cost space cargo return is growing rapidly with the emergence of commercial space stations, in-space manufacturing, rapid global rocket cargo delivery, and space resource mining. Raven’s automated factory will enable 10X faster and 95% lower cost reentry capsule production with software-driven adaptability for any mission. Raven is well-positioned to be a leader in space cargo transportation as the only company modernizing reentry vehicle production.
