Approves of CEO

Pros

- Incredible technology and industry leading 3D printing capabilities - Strong emphasis on autonomy and ownership - People here generally love what they do which creates a great environment

Cons

- Rotating leadership and lack of regular cadence of company all-hands to address org changes - Growing pains typical of many startups - No 401K matching or bonus programs

We celebrate all the diversity and individuality that makes the human experience so beautiful. We strive to create a work environment where all people can flourish – regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or background. If you bring talent, motivation, and focus we will make sure you have a seat at the table as we invent the future together.

Our Mission

LAUNCHING THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY IN SPACE

Our long-term goal is to create humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to fundamentally expand the possibilities of the human experience. The first step toward this vision starts here on Earth, by building the next great commercial launch company. 

Commercial and government customers are looking to launch satellites quickly and inexpensively, without waiting for a ride share slot on a large rocket launch to become available. We saw this market gap and set out to design a product to meet our customers’ needs; that’s where Terran R comes in. Developed for reuse, Terran R will deliver high-volume performance and reliability, with lower costs and shorter time to market. A testament to our unique approach, we have pre-sold launch service agreements with government and commercial customers totaling more than $1.8 billion.
