K2 Space is building large, high-powered spacecraft for the next generation of space development, aiming to mass produce the highest-powered satellite platforms ever built for missions across LEO to Deep Space. The enterprise software team builds the digital backbone that powers K2 Space’s satellite design, manufacturing, and mission operations, developing tools that connect engineering, production, and mission control into a seamless ecosystem to enable hardware to get from concept to orbit faster than ever before.
