Known as a sustainable space company, Outpost is advancing space development that is reusable rather than disposable.

have teamed up to launch the revolutionary Cargo Ferry project in an effort to make Earth-return of cargo faster and more cost-efficient.

This technology promises a solution for scientists with valuable non-human samples as well as small payloads that can now be returned quickly at low prices – opening doors not just on the ISS National Lab but also throughout theOutpost Founder Jason Dunn emphasizes: The Ferry will drive down costs while boosting throughput capabilities; it could provide opportunities never before seen across multiple industries.

Outpost seeks to solve this issue by creating a future human-rated version of Cargo Ferry that could one day provide emergency evacuations from private stations in orbit., which are anticipated to be smaller than ISS and fixed heat shield systems. Given that the heat shield is deflated during the whole journey up to the very last entry, it will be more directly scalable to heavier cargo. This implies that it would require less space for storage at CLD and launch to LEO.

Outpost pioneers this sustainability throughout all development phases as they strive toward new heights.
