Gravitas Mission Update: Engineering Lessons from K2 Space's First Large, High Power Satellite
I'm excited to share this detailed update on our Gravitas mission -- from design, to mission timeline, to what's next as we continue to successfully operate our first large, high power satellite on orbit and prepare for…
Why this matters for talent
Operating a large, high power satellite on orbit moves K2 from promising design to proven flight hardware, and that is the moment satellite companies shift hiring from R&D toward production, test, and mission operations. Expect more spacecraft integration, avionics, and on orbit ops requisitions rather than pure concept engineering. K2 Space already carries more than 180 open roles on the jobs board, one of the largest footprints of any pure play space company we track.
