Hey everyone, we are Will and Stef from Reditus Space!
The Problem
Access and Return from space is almost entirely dependent on the International Space Station (ISS), a costly, slow, and overly bureaucratic process. Zero-G manufacturing is currently at a turning point, transitioning from research to producing materials for use on Earth. The current space infrastructure cannot provide consistent access & return for zero-g manufacturing, and that is where we come in.
Why produce anything in space at all?
The absence of gravity in space means that there is no sedimentation or convection. In turn, that means during the formation of materials, you are able to make them more homogenous on an atomic level. This has huge implications for pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and biologics. You are able to create materials in space that cannot be produced on Earth.
In short, the material production has to be so precise that gravity is too much of a disturbing force and needs to be removed.
What are we building right now?
Right now we are working on our first full-scale re-entry mission, the ENOS mission, which will be launching on a Falcon 9 in a launch window starting in March '26. We will be hosting a pharmaceutical R&D payload on-orbit and fully re-enter and recover the satellite.

The Team
Will and I met at Georgia Tech while we were both pursuing our PhD’s in Aerospace Engineering. We have worked on several satellite missions and re-entry and recovery with NASA & the DoD.
The Ask
We are actively looking to expand our customer base. If you have any connections within the pharmaceutical or the semiconductor industry, especially the very large companies, we would love to talk to you! Even if you think that your company doesn’t do anything in space, very often they do.
The founders met in graduate school at Georgia Tech, while we were both pursuing our PhD’s in aerospace engineering.
