Gravitics builds and sells Orbital Carriers, including Pathfinder and Diamondback, to the U.S. Space Force and defense contractors for responsive orbital missions.

Positioning

Gravitics is a US space-hardware maker (Seattle) whose StarMax is a 400-cubic-meter station module (near half ISS volume in one launch) that pivoted toward aircraft-carriers-in-orbit for the Space Force: the Orbital Carrier pre-positioned deployment bays and the Viper OTV, sharing a 4m-form-factor manufacturing base. It won a SpaceWERX STRATFI (up to $60M combined government and private, April 2026) and has contracted flight demos with Rocket Lab and True Anomaly as program partners. It is pre-revenue (the STRATFI is matched funding, not revenue).
