About
Dispatch is a space logistics company focused on high-frequency, low-cost cargo return from orbit. The company builds heat shields in-house that are claimed to be 100x cheaper and capable of Mach 20+ reentry speeds. Their inaugural mission involves a vehicle called Free Flyer 1, aimed at enabling permanent industrial-scale space operations.
