Setting [Space] in Motion

ion (n.)

“1834, introduced by English phycisist and chemist Michael Faraday (suggested by the Rev. William Whewell, English polymath), coined from the greek “ion”, neuter present participle of ienai, “go,” from the root “to go”, so called because ions move toward the electrode of opposite charge.“

— Douglas Harper Etymology Dictionary

Setting space in motion for the next age of opportunity

It is motion that drives prosperity and opportunity. Our early ancestors were nomads and were always on the move. During the age of discover advances in sailing opened up the world allowing goods and people to be shipped across the globe. Railroads, highways and air travel have expanded humanities’ ability to move around even further.

As below so above.

Developments in rocket technology have created unprecedented access to space. But once in orbit mobility is just as crucial as it is on Earth. The future will see thousands of spacecrafts in orbit transporting goods and people, observing our planet, manufacturing goods, connecting people, studying the universe and keeping us safe. They have all one thing in common: They. move.

A thriving space ecosystem/economy powered/driven/propelled by IENAI mobility products.

We build tailored, end-to-end space mobility products and services for the next generation of small satellites empowering a sustainable new space economy.
