Arkisys

Arkisys develops and operates orbital platforms, offering space infrastructure-as-a-service. Its primary offering, "The Port," functions as a commercial robotic orbiting destination designed for in-space technology hosting, satellite integration, assembly, and resupply. The company focuses on modular, reusable spacecraft solutions that enable long-duration missions and adaptable services for diverse orbital activities.

The company was founded in 2015 by David Barnhart, driven by the insight that a persistent, flexible infrastructure in space could significantly lower barriers to entry for various space-based operations. Barnhart envisioned a platform that could be re-docked and re-used, moving away from single-use satellites to a more sustainable and economically viable model for in-orbit activities.

Arkisys serves organizations looking to accelerate their return on investment in space by providing lease-based access to robust orbital facilities. The company’s long-term vision is to establish a foundational infrastructure in orbit, acting as an accessible hub that empowers new innovations and enables a broader range of commercial and research activities in the space economy.
