The next resource economy
Every rocket that leaves Earth burns propellant. Every mission beyond cislunar space needs water. Space Ocean is building the logistics infrastructure to supply it — from orbit.

The thesis
Every deep-space mission today launches from Earth — expensive, slow, and physically limited. Space Ocean changes that.
Water — the source of hydrogen and oxygen propellant — weighs thousands of tons per mission. Lifting it from Earth costs $2,000–$10,000 per kilogram. That math kills most missions beyond LEO before they start.
Our nuclear-electric tugs collect water from outer solar system sources like Enceladus and deliver it to cislunar and Mars orbit. Neutral propellant infrastructure, available to any operator — like a fueling station between planets.
How it works
01 — COLLECT
~1,040 kg water logistics satellite. Launch target: May 2027. Demonstrates on-orbit water capture and storage in cislunar space.
02 — TRANSPORT
Nuclear-electric propulsion vehicle designed for deep-space transport. Moves water from source bodies to customer depots with high efficiency and large payload capacity.
03 — INTEGRATE
98,000 sq ft nuclear integration facility in Brownsville TX, adjacent to SpaceX Starbase. $240M project. Q2 2029 target. Where it all gets assembled.
The market
SpaceX's IPO today validated the commercial space economy at a $1.75 trillion valuation. The next layer — in-space logistics infrastructure — has no public company. Space Ocean is building it.
