Instinct Space plans to fly its first lunar mission in late 2028.

Instinct Space’s lander is launcher-agnostic and is designed to take about four months to reach lunar orbit.

The James Webb Space Telescope program was developed by NASA, ESA, and CSA.

LINK is intended to demonstrate autonomous rendezvous and docking capabilities.

Katalyst Space built and tested LINK in about eight months after receiving the contract in September 2025.

Katalyst Space will allocate part of the new capital to its first GEO mission in 2027.

NEXUS will be able to reposition, repair, refuel, and upgrade satellites already operating in space.

Geodesic Capital's Alliance Fund backed Katalyst Space because the company rapidly turns capital into technological progress.

Katalyst Space is collaborating with government and commercial customers on hardware installation, satellite life extension, and Surface Data Action missions.

NEXUS is based on the technology developed for LINK.

LINK is scheduled to launch on 27 June 2026.

Fortitude Ventures said Katalyst Space can quickly convert raised capital into technological and operational results.

NEXUS is designed for multi-mission and multi-orbit robotic operations.

Geodesic Capital led Katalyst Space’s $12 million financing round.
