Building for the long arc of cislunar industry.
A U.S.-owned, vertically integrated company building the five coordinated programs the cislunar economy and the national-security space enterprise will run on.
Own the layer, not the mission.
Cislunar space is roughly a thousand times the operating volume of the current space economy, and the United States has now committed to a permanent base at the lunar south pole: about eighty launches and seventy landings across three phases, ending in continuous crew. Rail, telecom, GPS. Every domain transition of this kind was won by whoever built and operated the shared layer, not by whoever flew first. The launch companies are fighting over the mission. We are building what every mission will pay to use.
The model runs on two engines. Hardware quotes today: precision optics, flight qualification, and satellite systems manufactured and tested in Colorado for space and defense programs. Services compound tomorrow: connectivity, navigation, and timing by subscription on the EVERLIGHT network, cislunar domain awareness as a data product, mobility and lunar delivery on contract. Infrastructure economics, not launch-window economics: recurring revenue attached to every asset operating in the domain.
Defensibility is structural and checkable. The company is vertically integrated: the platforms the network rides are built on our own floor. The near-term capability gap is verifiable: performance characterization of optical hardware under vacuum, at temperature, is not commercially available in the United States today. Federal labs do it in house and do not sell it; commercial test houses sell survival screening, not performance; the one commercial provider under vacuum is foreign, closed to ITAR-controlled hardware. FORGE is being built to sell that measurement from Colorado, and every article it qualifies feeds the data asset below.
The asset that compounds
Every article FORGE qualifies leaves behind calibrated, traceable measurement data that we keep. It compounds: each campaign makes the next one faster and cheaper, and makes us harder to replace. The lab is how we acquire the corpus. The corpus is why the lab is worth more than its equipment. The counters below are real and start at zero, because a company that fakes its own telemetry has no business selling measurement data.
Where the revenue starts
On the ground, not in orbit. FORGE quotes precision optics, vacuum EO/IR characterization, and flight qualification out of Colorado, for customers who need hardware proven before it launches. That is an existing market with existing buyers, and it runs on the same instruments and the same measurement discipline the orbital programs depend on. Services phase in as the architecture comes online. They do not have to arrive first for the company to work.
What this page does not publish
No financials, no valuation, no contract values, no customer names. Those belong in a briefing, under NDA, to people who can act on them, and a company that broadcasts them early is optimizing for attention rather than for the counterparties it actually needs. The counters on this site start at zero and move only when something real happens. Everything published here is something we are prepared to be held to.
