About the offering
OrbitBeyond Inc. is an early-stage commercial space infrastructure company raising up to $5 million via Regulation Crowdfunding at $2.32 per share (common stock), against a stated $60 million valuation. The offering has exceeded its maximum, reaching approximately 155% of the target ($7.76M committed), and new investors are being placed on a waitlist. OrbitBeyond is one of only 14 NASA-certified Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) providers. The company's flagship product is the OB-1 lander, an extensible lunar vehicle platform designed to carry up to 1,000 kg of payload, generate 700 watts of sustained solar power, and survive multiple lunar nights through a patented combination of radioisotope heater/generator (RHG) technology, fuel-cell hybrid power, and a co-optimized thermal subsystem. The company targets four revenue verticals: (1) Payload Delivery — transporting NASA and commercial payloads to the lunar surface under CLPS task orders potentially worth ~$350M per mission; (2) Sample Return — mining Helium-3 (He-3) from permanently shadowed regions and returning it to Earth (He-3 priced at ~$20M/kg, with up to ~$550M per-mission revenue potential per management estimates); (3) LunarConnect — a planned commercial lunar 5G/4G surface communications network with six identified revenue streams including astronaut comms, mission data relay, and industrial slices; and (4) LunarEdge — an on-surface edge data center starting at 600 TB of flight-qualified storage and 30,000+ DMIPS of compute on Mission 1, scaling to 12.5 petabytes and 450,000+ DMIPS over five missions. The company holds nine patents under development spanning power, communications, precision landing, avionics, landing-leg design, rover deployment, and Earth re-entry. The core OB-1 subsystems (main engine, RCS thrusters, propellant tanks, thermal control, and flight computer) carry TRL 9 heritage from ISRO's Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3 missions, the latter of which achieved the first-ever soft landing at the lunar south pole in August 2023. The engineering team includes several former ISRO scientists directly responsible for Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3: M. Krishnaswamy (former ISRO Program Director, Chandrayaan-1), Dr. R.K. Srinivasan (designed Chandrayaan-2/3 landing legs), Dr. Alok Shrivastava (led Chandrayaan-3 thermal/night-survival engineering), B.K. Venkataramu (former Outstanding Scientist, ISRO Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre), and Dr. V. Sambasiva Rao (former ISRO Deputy Director, communications). The executive team includes Chris Crumbly (CTO, 27 years at NASA/Marshall SFC), Dr. Kimberly Robinson (President & COO, 30+ years at NASA including Artemis I Payload Mission Manager), and Reggie Spivey (Head of Mission Integration, 80,000+ hours ISS/SLS mission operations at Teledyne Brown). The company positions itself against the backdrop of NASA's projected $20 billion lunar spend through 2036 (~81 planned launches, 70 planned landings), Presidential executive orders (August and December 2025) directing American lunar dominance by 2028–2030, and a projected global space economy of $1.42 trillion by 2036. Anchor commercial customers reportedly in the pipeline include MBRSC and Lockheed Martin. Previously raised capital stands at approximately $800,000. The offering is not available to Canadian investors.
