Castelion has earned trust and credibility by demonstrating technology that creates an asymmetric advantage and can be built at speed, cost, and scale.
They’ve turned ambitious promises into flight-tested hardware and real production capacity for critical national security priorities.
We believe they’re building one of the most important defense companies of this generation.
Pumped to double down and proud to keep backing this exceptional team. 🇺🇸

The High-Power Era in space has begun. 
20kW on orbit. A fundamentally new class of spacecraft.
Huge milestone for @K2SpaceCo on Gravitas.
Major commercial validation for @K2Space, partnering with @SES_Satellites to deliver high-power satellites for its next-gen MEO network.
Tranche 1’s initial deployment of 28 satellites will effectively double SES’s network capacity, enabled by K2 Mega, a new class of satellite that is bigger, higher power, more flexible, and built for scalable production.
Next-gen constellations require a step-function change in power and scale.
K2 is delivering it.
