Where the Air Force Research Lab contract stands

And not only that, but then when you're in space, you have to have these things in multiple different orbits so that because you don't know if someone's gonna need the cargo near the equator or near the north north pole. And so you need to make sure that your satellite is in the right place, the right time. The only solution to that is that you have like a bunch of them, so like dozens of satellites. Our solution was like, let's just yeet it somewhere, just put the thing into the vehicle. We have to obvious I have to pre qualify it as well. We need to make sure that it's gonna be okay. But because we spend a very short amount of time going through space, it's measured in minutes, not

Yeah.

in months or weeks.

and so it's it's inherently the fastest way of of getting things to to other places. We've spoken to people in the Air Force and Space Force and it's when when they compare our solution to to others, they're like we have not seen how these orbital sat cargo satellites are able to actually solve our problems. They're they're a cool concept, but I don't think it actually solves the the problem that the end user is is trying to get solved and that the customer is willing to pay for.

Actually, Then speaking of Air Force, you guys had a major accomplishment, congratulations. What would that mean? Would that mean the contracts? Because it might mean many things, right? It might be already a small step of prototyping or testing.

Where do you stand today with AI Force? How is your collaboration with them?

I won't go into too much detail. We're what I will say is that we're actively delivering on a contract with Air Force Research Labs. we're about I'd say three quarters of the way through. I don't know off the top of my head. what's really exciting is that we've built that relationships not just within the Air Force but also a lot of the other the the branches and other teams within the DOW. and so

Mm-hmm.

just being able to to continue developing our idea.

based on what we hear from conversations is is immensely helpful. we also have a pretty cool pipeline of of other I'll say contracts and and projects that we we're looking at and and will be converting. so it's we're we're we're just getting started. we're really excited about kind of our our progress there.

How do you think about scaling the production? I know it's very early days, but I also assume you have some sort of roadmap in your head with Jacob. what do you guys envision moving forward? what are the milestones that you are looking forward to? Check, check, check.

So the biggest milestone is gonna be actually like building the product itself, like getting it to a point where it works and we can we can sell it. so we're gonna be kind of in build mode, focusing on that for for the next while. Once we get there, so this is where Jacob's experience very much comes into play. he especially in the kind of the Falcon Booster Reefer program, he was one of the core people of that team and so
