Key Facts
Description
Gravitics manufactures large-scale modular spacecraft and orbital infrastructure designed for deployment on next-generation heavy-lift launch vehicles. The company's StarMax product line consists of pressurized habitable modules with 7.6 to 8-meter diameters and approximately 400 cubic meters of internal volume per unit. These aluminum-constructed modules feature onboard power and propulsion systems for autonomous delivery and docking, and are designed to be daisy-chained for large orbital stations or operated as standalone free-flying spacecraft. Gravitics also produces the Diamondback orbital carrier platform, a hardened staging system designed to pre-position and protect national security payloads in orbit until deployment.
Gravitrics operates a 42,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Woodinville, Washington, employing a shipyard-style fabrication approach and dual-use manufacturing strategy that applies shared form factors and production processes across commercial and defense product lines. The company holds a Space Act Agreement with NASA for development and qualification of large-diameter pressure vessels and maintains contracts with the U.S. Space Force, including a STRATFI award for orbital carrier development. In 2024, Gravitics secured a $125 million contract with Axiom Space to provide pressurized spacecraft components. The company is privately held and serves commercial space station developers and national security customers.
