ORBITAL FOUNDRYExplore the vision
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 24 OCT 2026

Build the foundry.
Prove the advantage.

A shared platform for specialized materials made in orbit. Three claims to test, one traceable path from experiment to production.

THE RESEARCH CONTRACT

A source, a test, and a boundary for every claim.

01 / MATERIALS

Start with a measurable
difference.

PUBLISHED COMPARISON
NEXT EXPERIMENT

Choose one target application, reproduce the strongest Earth process, and test independent batches. Morphology becomes valuable only when it improves a relevant functional outcome.

02 / FOUNDRY DESIGN

Share the infrastructure.
Respect the process.

DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS

Common steps suggest reusable services. Simultaneous operation also needs power, thermal, observation and disturbance margins.

Can these stages run together?

ONE CAPSULE · SEPARATE CARTRIDGES

03 / FLEET OPERATIONS

Compare the scheduler
with simpler choices.

SYNTHETIC SIMULATION

Every policy receives the same jobs, durations and outcomes. The comparison includes late, failed and undelivered batches.

04 / EXECUTION PLAN

The next steps,
with a definition of done.

after the measurement works.

CPU-FIRST PIPELINE

MIT ENGAGING

Run-level extraction.
Independent simulation seeds.

Bounded transfers, reproducible manifests, and Slurm arrays. The current benchmark needs CPUs; a GPU becomes useful only for a validated image model.

SSH availability and submitted jobs are recorded in the runbook. An eight-hour SSH connection is separate from a compute allocation.
