At Skyroot
As Earth to Space transportation remains expensive,
access to Space has been limited to very few governments and enterprises
. Yet Space has transformed our lives for decades through GPS,
Satellite internet and television , weather prediction, disaster response,
understanding the universe, and many others.


At Skyroot, we are on a mission to open Space for all,
by pushing the boundaries of today's technology.
We are working towards a future where Space becomes part of our lives,
and such a transition will transform humankind like never before.
