Pioneering multi-ton Earth return for the growing space economy. We enable point to point delivery around the globe.

About us

Space is no longer just a domain of observation and communications, it's the next logistics layer. Outpost is unlocking an economic step change by pioneering return-to-Earth architecture, rewriting the rules of global logistics. Our Carryall is a reusable, scalable, Earth-return platform designed for the coming wave of orbital warehousing, manufacturing, and on-demand delivery of multi-ton cargo to any point on Earth, within 60 minutes after launch. Carryall launches on commercial rockets, then glides back from orbit to deliver cargo within 25m of its target. The same reusable vehicle enables in-orbit manufacturing for high‑value products before re-entering, opening a new era of just‑in‑time space manufacturing. The company was founded in 2021 by aerospace innovator Jason Dunn, whose earlier work put the first 3D printers on the International Space Station and pioneered next-gen fiber optic production in microgravity. Backed by contracts and awards from the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, NASA, and other mission‑critical customers, Outpost pairs aerospace‑grade hardware with a software‑driven logistics stack to get life‑saving supplies, strategic payloads, and space-made materials precisely where they’re needed—fast. Headquartered in Los Angeles, we’re building the infrastructure that lets humanity move anything, anywhere, at the speed of space. Join us.

  • We’re incredibly proud to have been selected by Aurelius Capital as its first U.S. space technology investment. Aurelius’ deep understanding of the future of defense, resilience, and strategic infrastructure makes this partnership especially meaningful to us. As highlighted in this post and the Jerusalem Post feature, the next frontier of logistics and national security will increasingly depend on space-enabled capabilities. Having the support of leaders and advisors with backgrounds at the highest levels of intelligence and defense reinforces the importance and urgency of the mission we’re building at Outpost. Thank you to Alon Lifshitz and the entire Aurelius Capital team for the trust, support, and shared vision for the future!

    Israel and the West need to rethink defense. The threat is no longer a single front or a single domain — it spans cyber, physical systems, and digital infrastructure at once. At Aurelius Capital, we look for technologies that can become the operating systems of the future. Alon Lifshitz, our founding partner, has written on that in the last weekend issue of The Jerusalem Post. https://lnkd.in/eypXaKKY Tiferet Lifshitz Amir Eshel Mike Rogers Lior Carmeli Hagai Itkin Esti Peshin Ariel C.

  • Part of our mission is to deliver cargo of all kinds to anywhere on Earth. Humanitarian missions like this one are exactly what Outpost is designed for – speed, accuracy, and delivery when it counts, where it counts.

    UK Armed Forces personnel have carried out a daring parachute operation to deliver critical medical support to Tristan da Cunha – Britain’s most remote inhabited Overseas Territory 🪂 The operation saw specialist paratroopers and military clinicians from 16 Air Assault Brigade jump from an RAF A400M, alongside the air drop of vital oxygen supplies and medical equipment. With no airstrip and access only by boat, an airborne insertion was the fastest way to support the island following confirmation of a suspected Hantavirus case. A joint military operation between British Army and Royal Air Force (RAF), our Armed Forces are ready to respond rapidly in support of urgent humanitarian and medical requirements across the globe.

    Some places on Earth are still almost unreachable. When a suspected hantavirus case emerged on Tristan da Cunha — one of the most remote inhabited islands on the planet — the UK military had to parachute critical medical supplies into the island from the air. That’s what logistics looks like when roads, ports, and infrastructure disappear. Today, missions like this still depend on putting flight crews directly into difficult conditions, under tight timelines, often with little margin for error. But that model is beginning to change. Systems like Outpost's StratoDrop and AirDrop are designed to deliver cargo with precision from existing aircraft, without requiring crews to fly directly over the target area or deep into dangerous environments. The result is simple but powerful: Deliver critical supplies farther, faster, and more safely — whether responding to natural disasters, remote medical emergencies, or military operations. Because in many situations, the hardest part isn’t making the supplies. It’s reaching the people who need them. Learn more: https://www.outpost.space

  • SpaceX has made access to space routine. The northbound lane is open. But the southbound lane – returning goods from orbit to Earth quickly and precisely, remains largely unsolved. Until that changes, many of the biggest opportunities in space won’t scale. In his latest op-ed for SpaceNews, our President, Amir Blachman, breaks down why this missing layer matters and what comes next: https://lnkd.in/gJ3XuqUb

  • 70 years ago this week, Malcolm McLean transformed global logistics when the world's first container ship, the Ideal X, set sail. By containerizing cargo the cost of shipping fell by 90%.    We are on the horizon of the next step change in global logistics.    Outpost is building the infrastructure to extend it beyond Earth. Our reusable return vehicles enable on-orbit warehousing, in-space manufacturing, and precision delivery anywhere on Earth within 60 minutes. #Downmass #SpaceLogistics

  • The In-space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) market is accelerating as launch costs continue to decline.  As Outpost’s Ryan Reel noted this week, lower costs make new on‑orbit production possible, but only if products can return to Earth. Outpost is focused on multi-ton Earth return because downmass is the infrastructure layer that turns ISAM from experiments into an economy. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gUcG3jpt

  • T-minus zero days until launch. Today we go back to the moon. Outpost VP of Engineering, Julie Newman, worked on the engine controller for the core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS rocket) during her time at Boeing. This is the kind of experience that shapes how we build at Outpost. Godspeed to the Artemis II crew and the entire Nasa team.
