Positioning

Momentus is a public U.S. in-space transportation and orbital-servicing company built around its Vigoride orbital service vehicle, supplying hosted-payload, last-mile delivery and servicing missions. Its Vigoride 7 launched on SpaceX Transporter-16 on Mar-30-26 carrying 10 government and commercial payloads, and by Jul-26 had completed more than 50 controlled orbit-lowering operations using its water-propellant Microwave Electrothermal Thrusters. NASA, DARPA, SpaceWERX, the SDA, Caltech and the University of Colorado LASP are named ecosystem participants; SpaceX is its launch provider and Velo3D supplied additive-manufacturing technology for a tested tank. The company has real flight activity and improving financing access, but remains commercially small, loss-making and dependent on repeated equity issuance.
