Outpost was selected for a $33.2M Air Force STRATFI contract to develop Earth return vehicles for hypersonic testing and re-entry missions. This award supports four missions with our Ferryall vehicle and the development of Carryall, capable of returning up to 10 tons of cargo. The US Military must advance capability to deliver urgent payloads into contested logistics environments, such as INDOPACOM. Outpost will make it possible to launch supplies from the US and get to any spot on Earth through space. This news comes just after Outpost announced $3M in contracts from the Air Mobility Command and the Rocket Cargo program to develop on-orbit warehousing and re-entry systems for point to point delivery missions. Outpost’s capabilities are pure dual-use where commercially we are focused on enabling multi-ton returns of space-manufactured products. Outpost’s first product will be fiber optic cables, which benefit from fewer defects in microgravity. Space-made fiber optic cables deliver unmatched performance, essential for the next generation of data centers. These advanced cables will meet the surging demand for high-speed connectivity, crucial for AI, cloud computing, and other data-intensive technologies. Our founder, Jason Dunn, pioneered the production of space-made fiber at Made In Space and now we are making it commercially viable with the ability to return multiple tons of product per flight.

Jason brings extensive experience and deep expertise, which will provide invaluable insights and strategic guidance to further propel our growth and impact. Jason B. Mello adds significant value to our advisory board as CEO and Co-Founder of The KMC Group, LLC. Mello, a retired Colonel with over 23 years of service and business executive, has extensive experience with the United States Space Force, Air Force, the Pentagon, and the Intelligence Community with a focus on corporate strategy, government engagements, driving growth, and advisory services. As a former executive at Firefly Aerospace Inc. and as President of Firefly Space Transport Services, Jason successfully led government relations, securing major partnerships with both government and industry partners. Before retiring from the United States Air Force, he led critical research and technology development crucial to our national security. He holds advanced degrees in Organizational Management and Engineering and has a bachelor's in chemical engineering. "Earth delivery is essential for the future of the trillion-dollar space economy, providing the necessary cadence to return products manufactured on-orbit. Commercial companies, manufacturing in microgravity environments on-orbit, provide unique conditions that can enhance the quality and characteristics of certain materials. This capability is core to Outpost's mission to drive these new technologies and provide space transportation back to Earth," said Mello, expressing his belief in Outpost's mission and technology. Welcome to the team Jason!
