The Constellation Company
Built to scale

Parallax Space designs constellation-ready satellites and the critical components inside them – and manufactures them on a next-generation production platform that can deliver them into orbit at scale.

The model has changed

The next generation of companies going to space will not be space companies. They will be governments, corporations, researchers, developers.  They will need a company who interpret, design and manage those missions and make it their own. That is Parallax Space.

We go beyond the single satellite

Bespoke. Complex. Can not meet the demand.

To build constellations at scale

Integrated. Repeatable. Built for scale.

Built by operators

A rich heritage, proven in orbit

Parallax was founded by engineers and operating executives who have designed spacecraft, built production organizations, architected facilities, integrated acquisitions, and delivered hardware against real launch deadlines.

30+

Years of combined space-industry experience

Multiple

WE ARE BRINGING SCALE TO ORBIT

Scale is not the number of satellites promised. It is the system capable of delivering them. Parallax Space is building the industrial infrastructure behind the Constellation Economy.

A production platform built for the Constellation Economy

SATSTACK™ standardizes the critical components. SATFACTORY™ turns spacecraft assembly into repeatable production. PARALLAX LIST™ connects the system from design through launch. Together, they create independent capacity for the companies and governments whose future is moving to orbit.

We are your constellation partners
on time. On budget.
In orbit.
