Gold Sponsor Lightning Talks – K2 Space
summary
A mega-class satellite design targets broad-orbit use with a goal to mass-produce one platform that survives LEO, MEO, GEO and deep space, not bespoke builds per mission. Key specs claim >1000 kg payload, 20 kW array and an electric propulsion system touted as 4x higher power than flown before. Hardware ships to space later this year and a launch manifest aims for deployment no earlier than end of 2025; one Falcon 9 can carry fits 10 per Falcon 9. All onboard and ground software is written in Rust.
