Outpost Technologies Corporation is a space technology company focused on developing reusable satellites for precision Earth return of orbital payloads. As a manufacturer and service provider, Outpost is developing the Ferry and Carryall spacecraft, designed for bringing back payloads from space and enabling in-space manufacturing. The company's key technology includes a two-stage re-entry system with an autonomous paraglider for precise landing. Outpost partners with the U.S. Air Force and other government entities to support hypersonic testing, re-entry missions, and advanced thermal protection systems.
