Founded in Australia, Space Machines Company (SMC) delivers space superiority and security through rapidly deployable, low-cost, mass-produced orbital response systems – providing resilience to critical civilian and national security infrastructure in space. With operations spanning Australia, the United States, United Kingdom, and India, we serve as a strategic partner to democratic nations across the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
SMC's Optimus Viper rapid response vehicles enable persistent proximity operations that match the speed of modern space threats—which emerge in hours and days, not months. These mass-produced assets deploy in coordinated swarms, carrying diverse payloads for inspection, characterisation, and protection of space infrastructure that conventional systems cannot reach. By operating multiple vehicles simultaneously with different sensor configurations, our AI-driven Solstice OS orchestrates persistent, multi-angle surveillance across numerous targets—creating a distributed intelligence network that adversaries cannot easily counter or defeat.
As one of a handful of providers globally and the only one outside the US, we provide this capability to the US, allies and partners to counter near-peer threats to satellites that underpin communications, navigation, and economic activity.
