Prometheus
The mythic Greek figure Prometheus defied the Olympian gods by stealing fire and gifting it to humanity as technology, knowledge, and civilization. Similarly, ABOVE: Space's Prometheus fleet is a transformative gift to humankind—unlocking opportunities not just to visit space beyond the current 455-day record, but to live, work, and thrive there indefinitely.
Prometheus is a fleet of adaptable, space-based microgravity free-flyer platforms designed for commercial customers. It empowers:
- On-orbit imaging, including Lunar and Earth views
- On-orbit data processing
- Up to 150U payload capacity
- Advanced commercial space capabilities
- Pressurized volumes (a key requirement for ISS payload replacement)
- A myriad of technology and commercial opportunities
- Multiple platforms available for launch each year
- Agility to operate jointly in a constellation of platforms
Discover how Prometheus is revolutionizing access to space.
Why Prometheus?
Launching a commercial payload to the ISS was once costly and time-consuming. Now, with NASA's new restrictions, it's nearly impossible. Prometheus breaks through this bottleneck, delivering cost-efficient, timely access to space platforms—accelerating your innovations without the red tape.
How Can I Use Prometheus?
Prometheus craft deliver immediate access to imaging and data services. Test and validate hardware or orbital payloads today—bookings are open for upcoming flights.
Planned missions offer pressurized and non-pressurized space for commercial use. After initial launches, stage two focuses on engineering return payloads to Earth.
Unmanned Prometheus programs will scale to habitable platforms, marking the first step toward low-cost, high-capacity space stations with variable artificial gravity—unlocking endless possibilities for your ventures.
Prometheus Status
Prometheus Flint is currently on orbit, delivering data services, on-orbit code execution, and imaging with resolution under 23m.
We are accepting new customers for future Prometheus missions—join the growing list of subscribed commercial space organizations and secure your spot today.
