GITAI is a U.S.-based space robotics company founded in 2016 that aims to provide safe and affordable labor in space. They develop advanced robotic systems, including robotic arms, satellites, and lunar rovers, for on-orbit services and lunar infrastructure construction. GITAI has established partnerships with organizations like JAXA and has secured contracts with U.S. government agencies such as DARPA, focusing on national security missions. The company's technologies are designed to help build and maintain satellites, space stations, lunar bases, and cities on Mars.
