Overview
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.
