Gravitas

K2's first full-size Mega Class satellite, a test mission carrying payloads for the Department of Defense and commercial customers.

Why it matters

Gravitas is the proof that K2's high-power design works in orbit, which its production ramp and customer contracts depend on.

How the technology works

The spacecraft tests K2's high-voltage power system, large solar arrays and a 20 kW electric thruster while hosting customer payloads. It was backed in part by a U.S.

Space Force contract.
