Today we are pleased to announce that Outpost has been awarded a $1.25M contract with the Air Force to develop the capability to to use Ferryall and Carryall to warehouse cargo on orbit for just in time delivery anywhere on Earth.
Outpost was selected for a $33.2M Air Force STRATFI contract to develop Earth return vehicles for hypersonic testing and re-entry missions. This award supports four missions with our Ferryall vehicle and the development of Carryall, capable of returning up to 10 tons of cargo.
The Space GARAGE program will focus on the development and testing of our re-entry technology and will support our warfighter in maintaining logistics and supplies in hard to reach locations around the globe.
Outpost is thrilled to announce our first-ever mission, Mission 1: "Failure is an Option." 🚀 Flying on @SpaceX’s T8, we will be testing the performance of our hosted payload satellite subsystems and avionics and successfully bring into orbit our first customer payload! 🛰️ #space
Flying is easy. Landing is hard. Outpost figured it out.
We've been busy perfecting our precision landing technique at our desert test site – full video landing soon. 🎯
JUST IN: AFRL Rocket Cargo program has selected Outpost for a $1.8M award to develop the Carryall vehicle as a re-entry system for shipping container payloads to be safely delivered anywhere on Earth. We'll be sharing more details soon.
Outpost is reimagining, from first principles, how a satellite mission would change if the satellite was reusable.
The key to reusability is recovering the satellite safely on Earth in one piece. Here is how we do that.

Here we are. On the edge. Flying a fabric wing as high as the U2 flew.
When we started this the experts told us it was impossible.
Well, not only is it possible, but it is also going to be the thing that opens the return lane from space!
Early yesterday morning we launched our Earth return test vehicle "Sally" with @WorldViewSpace with the goal of breaking two records, (1) highest full scale paraglider flight & (2) furthest distance of a robotic paraglider.
