SpaceTIS, Inc.

SpaceTIS, Inc. was founded in 2017 with a US headquarters in New York and a stated mission to make space exploration affordable, with a long-term goal of enabling asteroid resource mining. The Delaware-incorporated US entity is a registered federal contractor working with NASA Langley and NASA Goddard on a robotic in-space asteroid-mining spacecraft concept; founder Hadarou Sare is described as a NASA Goddard research scientist.

The company operates a network of national affiliate entities pursuing related programs: SpaceTIS-UAE (unmanned aerial vehicles, mission control), SpaceTIS-Lux (European headquarters, solar thermal thruster, moon-mining rover development), SpaceTIS-KSA (site selection and observatory work, small satellites), SpaceTIS-Nigeria/West Africa (Earth-observation and SAR satellites, drones, launch sites), SpaceTIS-India (radio instruments, space medicine and pharma manufacturing, launch systems), and SpaceTIS-East Africa (resource exploration, small satellites, GIS and remote sensing).

SpaceTIS's public materials describe several development-stage programs rather than shipped catalog products, including a reusable water-propellant launch system, an asteroid-mining spacecraft, a lunar water-mining rover, small satellites and CubeSats, a multi-payload Earth-observation and SAR telescope concept, and a GIS/remote-sensing data-service center.
