Fortastra, founded in 2025 and headquartered in Torrance, California, designs and operates intelligent spacecraft for active defense and new classes of missions. The company focuses on protecting critical space infrastructure, with applications spanning defense, communications, navigation, and financial systems.
Its core technical capabilities include spacecraft engineering, high-rate manufacturing, advanced autonomy, and the development of guidance, navigation, control, and propulsion systems. These enable rapid maneuver and defensive rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO), allowing its high-agility vehicles to execute assured missions in degraded environments.
The company secured $8 million in seed funding to support its work on what it terms intelligent spacecraft, built for operational resilience against emerging threats in orbit.
