Orbital manufacturing robots that automate space-based research and production to decouple human ambition from the scarcity of astronaut time.
General Astronautics builds and scales orbital manufacturing factories starting with industrial robotics that perform lab and manufacturing tasks in microgravity without requiring a human crew. The company's systems target high-value in-space manufacturing domains where Earth's gravity is a limiting factor, including protein crystallization for pharmaceuticals, semiconductor fabrication, and optical fiber production. Its robotic arms are designed with autonomous perception-based decision-making for tasks such as cargo logistics, experiment tending, and component repair aboard orbital stations. General Astronautics is a product of General Astronautics.
