Space Chapter
The C-Tech Club has joined forces with the EXOG – The Expeditionary Operations Group (www.exog.org) – to support founders and drive forward innovation in extreme environments, including space.
We organise regular online events of interest to founders and are advocates for the role that start-ups can play in design and construction in space – whether in orbit, on the lunar surface or in relation to launch facilities.

Given the developments in and around construction technology for space, the C-Tech Club is opening a specialised ‘Space Chapter’ . This will be to support founders and other independent innovators who are looking to develop design and construction technology for space-related clients and projects. This includes in-orbit, lunar, extreme environment and space facilities opportunities.
Relevant technologies are likely to include: 3D printing of structures; new materials; structural design software; robotics; hyper-accurate sensors (to allow remote handling); physical/digital twins; and novel surveying and scanning techniques. There may also be spin-offs from space-related construction technology for conventional Earth-based construction.
If you are interested in joining the C-Tech Club’s Space Chapter (which is open to founders and CEOs of start-ups actively involved in design and construction for space), please email us at: info@c-techclub.org.
