About
We build software for teams that need spacecraft design to move at software speed.
Black Foundry combines mission analysis, subsystem reasoning, and review-ready outputs into a single workflow. The goal is straightforward: turn mission intent into credible engineering decisions without the usual months of manual stitching.
Mission Credibility
We focus on outputs engineering teams can defend: trade studies, decision packages, and design artifacts instead of chat-only summaries.
Aerospace Experience
Our team has contributed to EO, SSA, communications, defense, and human spaceflight programs across commercial and government missions.
Fast Iteration
Black Foundry compresses the early design cycle so teams can evaluate architectures, constraints, and subsystem implications in hours.
Why this exists
Early-phase spacecraft design is still fragmented across spreadsheets, slide decks, disconnected tools, and tribal knowledge. That slows down proposal work, architecture iteration, and customer-facing reviews.
Black Foundry replaces that fragmentation with a system built to generate the artifacts teams actually need: design rationale, technical trades, subsystem packages, and executive-ready outputs that stay connected to the underlying mission assumptions.
