About the Partnership

Fortastra, a Los Angeles‑based startup focused on defending on‑orbit infrastructure, is collaborating with Hadrian, a specialist in precision machining and additive manufacturing.

The partnership seeks to optimize satellite manufacturing processes by integrating conventional machining with 3D‑printing techniques.

By leveraging these technologies, the companies hope to reduce lead times and material costs while maintaining product quality.

Initial pilot projects are slated for the second half of 2025, starting with small communications satellites.
