ABOUT SPACERIG
Space Rig Systems Inc. (SpaceRig) is building the important infrastructure needed for the next phase of space development. When spacecraft operators need a mission fast, SpaceRig is committed to being the company trusted to build, prepare and deliver space vehicles when operators need them and with the capability to perform demanding missions around the Earth, the Moon and beyond.
SpaceRig is planning a space ‘transit and logistics center’ close to busy launch sites. The vision of the transit and logistics center is to be a ‘one stop shop’ for spacecraft build, testing, pre-launch mission integration, propellant loading, and transport to the launch site. We will use the latest in factory management and automation, production techniques proven in prior successful spacecraft productions, and build a supply chain geared towards a future of frequent maneuver and distant travel in space. Simply put, SpaceRig is building the backbone for space mobility and infrastructure.
