Free Space Inc. was a space security startup company founded in 2022 that developed cybersecurity solutions for the space industry, including autonomy software platforms Guardian Satellite and Trellis Satellite. In 2023, SCOUT Space, a space safety and observation company, acquired Free Space to strengthen its relationship with the DoD and the intelligence industry. Free Space had secured approximately $1.5 million in Space Force contracts.
