K2 Space announced plans for the ‘Trinity’ mission on Tuesday, to launch three satellites on a SpaceX Falcon 9 mission to operate across LEO, MEO, and GEO. 

The startup manufacturer announced a launch contract with SpaceX on Tuesday for a Falcon 9 mission in 2027 with multiple deployments: to Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). K2 Space called the mission a “blueprint for agile, scalable satellite operations across orbital regimes.” 

“We are bringing something brand new to the satellite bus industry,” said Karan Kunjur, co-founder and CEO at K2 Space. “We are building a true multi-orbit satellite that can proliferate in LEO, in MEO, and out to GEO. Rather than simply stating we can proliferate all those orbits, we decided to prove it by deploying into all three orbital regimes on one rocket launch.”

The company is preparing for its first full satellite mission, Gravitas, on the upcoming February 2026 SpaceX rideshare mission. Gravitas will demonstrate its in-house 20kW high power electric propulsion system to perform orbit-raising from LEO to MEO and extended MEO operations. 

Both Gravitas and Trinity will support both U.S. government and commercial partners. K2 Space did not name specific commercial partners, but satellite operator SES recently announced a strategic partnership with K2 Space to test a software-defined payload during multiple pathfinder missions in 2026 and 2027.
