General Astronautics

General Astronautics is focused on developing autonomous robotics specifically designed for microgravity environments. Their primary goal is to address the labor bottleneck in orbital operations, which has become the limiting factor in utilizing space for research and industry. By creating and scaling orbital manufacturing factories that leverage industrial robotics, General Astronautics aims to decouple humanity's ambitions in space from the constraints of human astronaut time, which is currently valued at $130,000 per hour. This innovative approach seeks to enable a sustainable human presenc…
