ThinkPlatform is a self-assembling, scalable, and reconfigurable orbital infrastructure system designed to enable the next generation of activity in space.
Instead of building large structures on Earth and limiting them to the size of a launch vehicle, ThinkPlatform is designed for Autonomous Assembly in orbit—enabling large-scale infrastructure to be built where it will operate.
You wouldn’t build the Empire State Building somewhere else and transport it fully assembled to New York City. You bring the materials to the site and build it there.
Designed to fit within a single launch vehicle and expand into significantly larger usable volumes on orbit.
Create pressurizable internal volumes ranging from approximately 300–4,000 m³ from a single launch.
Robotic construction and electron beam welding enable large-scale assembly directly in the space environment.
Enclosed infrastructure designed to protect internal assets from MMOD (Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris), thermal extremes, radiation, and other external threats.
ThinkPlatform can support defense, commercial, scientific, and future human spaceflight missions.
Forward basing store, protect, commission, and rapidly deploy satellites and other mission assets.
Create orbital destinations for spacecraft repair, servicing, logistics, and refueling.
Support future Commercial LEO Destination (CLD) and space station architectures.
Enable in-space manufacturing, assembly, servicing, and future orbital shipyards.
Support scientific payloads, data centers, research facilities, tourism, and other emerging space markets.

ThinkPlatform removes traditional launch constraints through high packability, scalable architecture, and autonomous in-space assembly—creating a foundation for everything from rapid deployment of defense assets to servicing hubs, manufacturing facilities, refueling stations, and crewed destinations.
Spherical module serving as adjunct capability for new generation of space stations. The spherical ThinkPlatform provides a large volume, protected from orbital debris and thermal effects, to accommodate ISAM activities, habitation for astronaut missions and tourism. Our initial offering utilizes existing space infrastructure and allows us to focus purely on our core technologies.
