About Instinct

Instinct Space is focused on advancing lunar navigation through the deployment of a CubeSat constellation. The company leverages proven small satellite technology to offer precise and cost-effective lunar positioning solutions. Each satellite in their constellation is equipped with sophisticated navigation transmitters, all housed within a compact 6U frame. This approach allows for significant capabilities in a small package, making it an attractive option for space missions requiring accurate navigation. Instinct Space primarily serves clients in the aerospace and space exploration sectors, providing them with the tools needed for precise lunar navigation. The business model likely involves selling or leasing access to their navigation services, potentially offering subscription-based models or one-time service fees. The company was founded by four graduates with a vision to contribute to the future of lunar exploration, indicating a strong foundation in academic and technical expertise.
