A lot of people associate space with their childhood - at K2 Space Corporation we hope to help make those childhood dreams a reality. We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Christian T., our Satellite Mechanical Engineer, who comes to us from Blue Origin and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. What's your earliest memory of space? As far back as I can remember, I was fascinated by space shuttle launches. What truly ignited my passion for space, though, were the weekly update videos of the Mars Science Laboratory. I still remember seeing the first one and becoming obsessed with space ever since.

A lot of people associate space with their childhood - at K2 Space Corporation we hope to help make those childhood dreams a reality. We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Thomas Goff, our Senior Technical Recruiter, who comes to us from Meta and Niantic, Inc. What's your earliest memory of space? I remember taking a school field trip in 2nd grade to visit my city's newly renovated planetarium, where they had just installed a state of the art star projector. Sitting under the "sky" and being able to clearly see different stars, planets, and constellations fascinated me and has fueled my interest in space ever since!

On Veterans Day, K2 Space honors the men and women who have served our nation with integrity, discipline, and purpose. Their commitment to mission reflects the same principles that drive our team as we design and build next-generation satellite platforms. The systems we’re deploying are built to strengthen the capabilities of those who serve: enhancing communications, resilience, and operational awareness where it matters most. To all veterans, including those on our team and in our community, thank you. Your example continues to shape how we think, how we build, and how we deliver for the missions that matter. -

A lot of people associate space with their childhood - at K2 Space Corporation we hope to help make those childhood dreams a reality. We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Jonathan Bunton, our Senior Simulation Software Engineer, who comes to us from Blue Origin and Parallel. What's your earliest memory of space? A lifetime ago, I visited the air and space museum in Florida and saw the old space shuttle, and it blew my mind. During undergrad, I watched SpaceX figure out booster re-entry and landing, and I *needed* to know how they did it, so I went and studied control theory for grad school, and now I've found myself working with K2! -

A lot of people associate space with their childhood - at K2 Space Corporation we hope to help make those childhood dreams a reality. We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, David Magie, our Dynamics Engineer, who comes to us from Affiliated Engineers, Inc. What's your earliest memory of space? When I was about six, my grandfather set up a telescope behind his house to show me the Moon’s terminator, where shadows traced craters and ridges. Seeing the Moon’s dynamic surface captivated me, and from that night, I knew I wanted to explore the solar system. -

We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Neil Forrester, our Principal Software Engineer, who comes to us from SpaceX. What's your earliest memory of space? I’ve been fascinated by space for as long as I can remember, but my first clear memory is reading a book that featured Project Daedalus. The full-page painting of that interstellar fusion rocket really spoke to me! -

A lot of people associate space with their childhood - at K2 Space Corporation we hope to help make those childhood dreams a reality. We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Minh C., our Head of Enterprise Systems, who comes to us from Resmed and SpaceX. What's your earliest memory of space? Growing up on the family farm in Vietnam during my childhood, I remember looking up at the night sky seeing stars, feeling curious and being in awe of the vastness of space, wondering how the stars look up close. To this day, I love finding Polaris or the Southern Cross wherever I go! -

One launch, three satellites, three orbits. We’re excited to announce our 2027 Trinity mission, which will demonstrate K2 Space’s capability to proliferate satellites across LEO, MEO, and GTO orbits from a single launch. The higher orbits have historically been the hardest orbits to proliferate. Following our 2026 MEO mission, Gravitas, Trinity will represent an acceleration of K2's unique capability to proliferate any orbit - made possible by K2's power, propulsion and radiation tolerant design. Read more about how we’re advancing multi-orbit missions and redefining what’s possible in satellite proliferation. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/g_aMsiQC

A lot of people associate space with their childhood - at K2 Space Corporation we hope to help make those childhood dreams a reality. We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Tristen Stephens, our Production Technician, who comes to us from Relativity Space and SpaceX. What’s your earliest memory of space? My earliest memory of space goes back to when I was a kid. My mom had this rule that I had to read at least three books per week, and that’s how I stumbled into Orson Scott Card’s sci-fi novels. They really lit up my imagination about what might be out there. Around the same time, I had this little kids’ telescope, and I’d sit outside under the wide Texas sky, straining to catch even a quick glimpse of the International Space Station. That mix of books and stargazing was the first spark that made space feel both real and full of possibility. -

A lot of people associate space with their childhood - at K2 Space Corporation we hope to help make those childhood dreams a reality. We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, Gavin Martin, our Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, who comes to us from Amazon Project Kuiper and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. What's your earliest memory of space? My passion for space began in a 1st grade classroom vibrantly decorated with Voyager photos. I loved learning about other planets, and my parents fueled my obsession with Solar System books and trips to nearby NASA JSC. I was hooked, and I've been committed to working on space missions ever since! -
