Epic Aerospace is a startup company and manufacturer of reusable space tugs designed to deliver satellites into geostationary orbit (GEO). These space tugs transfer satellites from low-Earth orbit (LEO) directly to GEO. The company's space tugs are launched into space by a two-stage-to-orbit (TSTO) vehicle where they then serve the purpose of transferring satellites into their final orbit, after which the tugs refuel and repeat this process. EPIC Aerospace investors include Y Combinator, Emles Venture Partners, Iterative Accelerator, and Metaplanet Holdings.
