Join us for an event we’re co-hosting with Starburst, Ampaire and others during LA Tech Week 2024 to celebrate the growing New Space ecosystem. Date: Monday, October 14th Time: 11:30 AM - 2:30 PM PST Location: Ampaire’s new Hangar in Long Beach We're bringing together local New Space executives, early-stage and growth-stage hardtech startup founders, and top business and engineering talent to explore how companies at different stages are tackling talent acquisition and retention. The agenda features hardtech product demos and a fireside chat with industry leaders on attracting and retaining legacy talent as well as tapping into new cross-industry talent.

Check out our article in the Space Force Association's Fall 2024 magazine (page 25-26)! Auriga is developing a linear electromagnetic space launch system capable of rapidly and responsively reconstituting lost or damaged satellites. Due to the inherent complexity of chemically-powered rockets, the United States lacks an effective counter to growing Chinese and Russian anti-satellite capabilities. With Auriga's electromagnetic launch approach, the DoD will have access to a responsive and all-weather capability for increasing orbital resiliency.

Auriga Space, a California-based startup working on kinetic space launch, was awarded a $1.25 million Direct-to-Phase II AFWERX contract to support the development of a new hypersonic lab accelerator named Prometheus and slated to be operational next year. Auriga’s eventual goal is to provide rapid launch capabilities using tech more akin to high speed maglev trains than rocket engines. In the near term, the Prometheus test facility will provide low-cost hypersonic testing for government and commercial clients.

🚀 Investment Case Study: Auriga Space 🚀 Auriga is developing a groundbreaking kinetic launch solution powered by electromagnetics. Paving the way for a revolutionary infrastructure in launch technology⚡️ Auriga recently came through the Seraphim Space Accelerator programme, developing a revolutionary kinetic launch solution leveraging electromagnetics. To meet the demanding requirements for the future of space, this novel launch system plans to dramatically decrease the launch cost, increase the frequency and reduce the emissions associated with conventional rocket launch. Significant cost reductions will enable new applications in the space industry that are today impractical through rocket launch.
