Blackwing Space | American-Made Nanosatellites for Space 3.0

[ ABOUT ]

BUILDING FOR SPACE 3.0

Blackwing Space is building for Space 3.0, where capability scales, cost drops, and access opens. We are reclaiming U.S. leadership in nanosatellite technology by designing, building, and testing commercial nanosatellite platforms and core components in the United States.

Blackwing Space platforms are sold online as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems with consistent, transparent, and affordable pricing, backed by a modular architecture and human-centered design that makes it easier than ever to build and operate a satellite. We believe that buying a satellite should be as simple as buying any other product.

The Best Things Come in Small Packages

Space manufacturing is shifting. Increased launch mass capabilities and renewed focus on military space are pushing bigger and heavier spacecraft. This paradigm shift is leaving space startups, research institutions, and universities behind. These entities are at the heart of American innovation, but cannot afford to launch their ideas to orbit.

Laptop computers, cell phones, drones, and numerous other technologies have all become smaller and more capable over time. Why should satellites be any different?

Blackwing Space is leading Space 3.0, where satellites are smaller, smarter, and affordable. Our nanosatellites unlock faster innovation cycles, lower cost barriers, and enable broader participation in using space to validate emerging technologies and deploy new services.

Affordable Economics

Production and launch costs are measured in thousands instead of millions, bringing satellite missions and constellations within reach for startups, universities, and new operators.

Rapid Time-to-Orbit

Shorter build cycles, simplified logistics, and more launch opportunities accelerate learning. Go from concept to operations in months, not years.

Slot-In Flexibility

Railed Cubesats enable true late-manifesting, taking advantage of open slots in existing deployers on rideshare missions. No more wasted mass or unused space for launch integrators.

Advanced Capability

High-performance compute, advanced sensors, AI/ML at the edge - nanosatellites now carry payloads once reserved for larger platforms.

Responsive Missions

Open interfaces and modular components enable new payloads, system upgrades, and reconfigurations without a full redesign. Align mission capability with shifting operational needs.
