Inflection Space Systems Corporation

Companies building constellations for data infrastructure, telecommunications, imaging, and similar missions need spacecraft, but custom or modular satellite designs can be costly and slow to produce at scale. The page implies that building bespoke or modular platforms for each mission adds complexity, unique parts, and manufacturing time that slow down constellation deployment. Inflection positions its approach against this by offering one standardized spacecraft design rather than modular configurations.

Inflection builds Exponent, a standardized (not modular) spacecraft platform with published specs: 100 kg payload mass capacity, 1.5 kW orbit-average payload power, minimum 3-year mission lifetime, 500 m/s delta-V, and launch vehicle agnostic, stackable design. The company is vertically integrated, designing its own spacecraft hardware, in-house flight software, and fleet management ground software used across simulation, hardware testing, and on-orbit operations. Manufacturing is built for high-volume, automated production: common parts across the spacecraft, AI-native automation from supply chain to electrical and software testing, and fungible tooling meant to let production lines change in hours. Pricing is published on a per-unit sliding scale, from $1,500,000 for a single unit down to $700,000 at 100 units, and customers can order directly through the site.
