us to incorporate variable sensors and evolving payload requirements with minimal disruption. By spreading fixed production and infrastructure
costs across multiple customers and missions, we deliver a more cost-effective solution without sacrificing innovation or performance.

Through
our integrated approach to satellite constellation development, we deliver reliable, cutting-edge remote sensing systems on unprecedented
timelines and at low cost—accelerating access to space for governments, commercial customers, and research institutions alike.
As a vertically integrated space services provider, our offering is anchored by a state-of-the-art Mission Control Center (MCC), enabling
end-to-end mission support—from pre-launch configuration and launch integration to in-orbit operations and data delivery.

Low
Cost. We believe we are strategically positioned to compete—and win—against both legacy space-based data providers
and emerging competitors. Our vertically integrated model, which blends rapid production cycles with flexible technology
insertion points, enables us to move faster, adapt more easily, and serve customers more effectively.

This
approach directly addresses the three primary barriers that have historically limited broader market adoption in the space-based
data industry:

    1.
    Limited
    Access to Actionable Data

    We
    streamline direct-to-user data delivery, reducing latency and making insights more accessible and usable.

    2.
    High
    Cost of Space-Derived Data

    Our
    low-cost, modular satellite platform and efficient manufacturing reduce the price of data acquisition—passing those savings
    on to customers.

    3.
    Lack
    of Rapid Customization

    We
    offer tailored, mission-specific solutions, integrating customer technologies and requirements throughout the production process
    to deliver bespoke results.

Our
Intellectual Property

We
continually invest in innovative solutions and as of Q1 205, have 14 granted patents and 13 pending applications. Our space related
patented technologies include but are not limited to, a print head for regolith-polymer mixture and associated feedstock for which a
notice of allowance was received by us in October 2021; a heat transfer system for regolith which patent expires in June 2039; a
method for establishing a wastewater bioreactor environment which patent expires in July 2039; vertical takeoff and landing pad and
interlocking pavers to construct same which patent expires in April 2039; and high-load vacuum chamber motion feedthrough systems
and methods which patent expires in May 2039.

We
seek to establish and maintain our
