Mission
Patented designs for AI-driven spaceplanes that take off and land horizontally and are fully reusable.
Exodus Space Corp designed AstroClipper, a two-stage fully reusable spaceplane that would take off horizontally, carry cargo point to point, and eventually carry passengers. Founded around 2018 by Miguel Ayala and a team citing SpaceX, Lockheed Martin and NASA backgrounds, it laid out a ladder of vehicles: a drone-scale demonstrator around 2022, suborbital flights by 2024, cargo to orbit by 2030.
None of it is known to have been built, let alone flown. No funding round, hardware test or contract was ever publicly reported, and the renderings stayed renderings.
The company never announced an end, but the signs accumulated: silence since about 2021, a domain that lapsed and now serves an unrelated business, a founder whose profile lists him elsewhere in the industry. A spaceplane is among the most capital-hungry things a startup can attempt, and this one appears to have ended before the capital arrived.
