Builds reusable orbital vehicles for precision Earth return of cargo and manufactures fiber optics in microgravity

About

Outpost Technologies Corporation designs and builds fully reusable orbital vehicles for precision cargo return to Earth. The company's flagship CarryAll platform launches aboard commercial rockets and returns from orbit using an inflatable heat shield and autonomous paraglider system, landing with 25-meter precision. The CarryAll Block 3 can return up to 10 tons of cargo, while the smaller Block 1 handles payloads up to 200 kilograms for rapid-turnaround missions. Outpost also operates an in-space manufacturing line producing ultra-low-loss fiber optics in microgravity, achieving 10-20x the performance of terrestrially manufactured fiber. Founded in 2021 by Jason Dunn, co-founder and former CTO of Made In Space, the company is headquartered in Santa Monica, California and has secured over $37 million in contracts and awards from the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and NASA.
