🌎 General Astronautics is in Cologne, Germany for i-SAIRAS & iSpaRo 2026 to connect with the researchers, operators, and partners shaping the future of space robotics.
We believe space robotic systems should be as easy to implement as solar and comms, so we're developing the manipulation platform to do exactly that.
If you’re working on in-space servicing, robotic assembly, or serviceable spacecraft, let's connect!

Long Horizon Summit: @GenAstronautics builds robots for in-space operations (because space is labor-limited).
By founder @bramschork's math, astronauts spent 3,000 hours on maintenance and repair on the ISS last year. That is about $3 billion of labor.

If you like robots, you’ll love space robots. Come check us out!
Tomorrow at @encord_team's #LongHorizon: "Scaling Space Robotics: From Exploration to Offworld Infrastructure"

ICYMI: @bramschork presented on the Space Founders panel at @ycombinator's Startup Industrial Base: Building for the Next 250 in Washington, D.C. last week.
As NASA Administrator @NASAAdmin put it during his fireside chat: “If you're playing around with robotics in space, there's going to be demand, there's going to be national security demands for it.”
The time to build robots for space is now.

General Astronautics is proud to be a sponsor of the Berkeley Space Symposium 2026 hosted by NewSpace @ Berkeley. Come find our booth to grab some merch, hear about open roles, and learn how we're making space more than a place we visit.
It’s a great day to be building the new space economy
ICYMI: the @WHOSTP has published the "National Security Science & Technology Strategy." Key space technologies identified: cost-effective launch, advanced power generation and propulsion, novel thermal management, ISAM, & space biotech. Read the strategy:

Headed to ASCEND in DC, who should I meet? We’re building scalable orbital labor
General Astronautics retweeted
Today, I'm excited to share that I've started a company and closed an oversubscribed seed round.
Space has a labor shortage, and a growing surplus of science that we can’t afford not to do. Our astronauts’ time costs $130,000 an hour, and almost all of it goes to keeping them alive. The science happens in the margins. The bottleneck in orbit is not rockets, but labor.
General Astronautics will build and scale orbital manufacturing factories, starting with industrial robotics. This is the unlock to new pharmaceuticals, new materials, and new planets.

🚀 @GenAstronautics launched! Robots for Space
“Robots for microgravity research and manufacturing.”
🌐 fondo.ai/3OZNvGO
Congrats @bramschork @ShiboZhou!!
The lab stays open 🔬🇺🇸
.@GenAstronautics builds autonomous robotics for space.
In microgravity, proteins crystallize without defects and semiconductors form without flaws, but astronaut time is scarce. They are enabling scale for the work that can't be done anywhere else.
Congrats on the launch, @BramSchork and @ShiboZhou!
