The team that has built
every layer of the stack.
Player One Space is a space innovation company. We solve high-impact problems in the space economy, protect the solutions with IP, and bring them to market as products.
Satellites are blind and immobile.
That is the defining vulnerability of the space age. Fix both and you have the first satellite that can detect a threat, classify it, and manoeuvre to safety — autonomously.
Satellites cannot see threats
Ground-based space domain awareness takes 30 minutes to 6+ hours to flag a close approach — long after an adversarial satellite is already alongside. No satellite carries onboard intelligence to detect and alert on its own.
Satellites cannot afford to move
60% of CubeSats launch with zero propulsion, priced out of toxic, expensive options. A satellite that cannot manoeuvre is a sitting target — for proximity operations, debris, and deorbit mandates it cannot meet.
One company. Two products.
A growing portfolio.
We do not bet on a single product. We identify unsolved problems in space, build proprietary solutions, and own the IP. Plasma and Buddy are the first two — each fundable on its own, and together the foundation of a self-defending satellite no competitor can match today.
