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.","sub_category":"Servicing & tugs","signals_total":9,"url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/momentus","title":"Momentus · space, San Jose, California, United States · scores, facts and signals · Frontier Tech Intelligence","description":"Momentus operates Vigoride orbital service vehicles that transport, deploy, host, and maneuver customer payloads in orbit, including controlled orbit-lowering operations and hosted-payload missions.
