Autonomous machines for in-space operations.

Orbital drones. Diagnosis and intelligence at the point of need, soon repair: the missing layer of the sustainment ecosystem. The drone is real. The flights are booked.

Humanity in space is inevitable.
Thriving requires operations, not missions.
Operations require resilient infrastructure.
Resilience is enabled by sustainment.
Arkwright builds the sustainment layer.
And sustainment is the road to factories in space.

01 · Problem

Roughly $400M is changing hands right now on a cause nobody can verify: SpainSat NG II, struck by an unverified particle, declared non-recoverable in January 2026. Today's only options are a spacewalk, a robotic-arm pass, or a dedicated $15M to $55M mission. We settle nine-figure arguments. Space Intel Report · Hisdesat · NASA and SSC award records

02 · System

Autonomous sustainment platforms. An AI intelligence layer plus robotic repair and resupply, at the point of need, conquering the tyranny of distance. First flight system: HORUS, an autonomous space drone (orbital micro free-flyer) for inspection, diagnosis, and servicing of high-value assets. Onboard AI diagnosis, patent pending. Damage found and diagnosed in hours, without a spacewalk or a dedicated mission. Behind it: autonomous space factories, the destination, in development. Full specifications under NDA. The arc: inspection, then sustainment, then in-space production.

Moats

Built on a flight-proven free-flyer lineage. Patent pending on onboard inspect-diagnose. Presence: we live at the asset; everyone else visits. And the data ratchet: everyone can process data, nobody else can be there to collect it.

03 · Market

2023 was the worst year on record for space insurers: roughly $557M of premium against $1B+ in claims; carriers exited and rates rose 50 to 150 percent. Continuous condition data turns assets back into insurable, financeable uptime, for operators, financiers, and underwriters. Gallagher · Insurance Insider

04 · Team

100+ combined years of work experience across space operations, in-space manufacturing, AI, autonomous systems, materials, astrophysics, robotics, semiconductors, and scaling deep tech companies. A Fellow of the National Academies directing Purdue's In-Space Manufacturing Institute. Early Tesla AI robotics. A NASA Space Catalyst Award. Full bios shared with the brief.

05 · House

A United States company in the Purdue ecosystem. Building with Northrop Grumman, Voyager, Purdue, NextFlex, and the State of Indiana.
