Solutions for Commercial Space
Commercial space companies face the compliance burden of government contracting combined with the pace of a startup. Mission timelines are unforgiving and every dollar is visible.
Common Challenges in Space Pioneers
These are the problems we hear most from Space Pioneers organizations. Our solutions are built to address them directly.
Government contract management is new territory
Many commercial space companies are winning government contracts for the first time. FAR/DFARS compliance, cost accounting standards, and DCAA audit readiness are unfamiliar.
Mission cost management lacks structure
Mission costs span hardware, software, testing, launch ops, and integration. Tracking actuals against estimates across all elements is manual.
ITAR/EAR compliance is high-risk and high-effort
Export control requirements add complexity to supply chain, hiring, and partner collaboration. Manual tracking increases violation risk.
Launch readiness workflows are ad hoc
Readiness reviews, milestones, and go/no-go gates are managed through meetings and spreadsheets rather than structured workflows.
Scaling systems for growth is painful
Tools that worked at 50 people break at 500. ERP implementations are expensive and slow, and the company cannot stop moving.
