From climate science on Earth to the clouds of Venus
Founded in 2019 by visionary entrepreneur and designer Christopher Isaac, SpaceAM emerged with an innovative design solution to a sensing requirement arising from the “Venus Life Finder Mission Study”, led by Breakthrough Initiatives and the renowned US university, MIT.
With a vision to revolutionise space exploration technology through ultra-lightweight and cost-effective systems, SpaceAM rapidly established itself as a leader in biomimicry-led simplification.
In 2021, Nick Jones, chief engineer and an expert in additive manufacturing, joined the business. SpaceAM has assembled a network of prestigious partners, including MIT in the United States and Exeter University in the United Kingdom. With expertise spanning atmospheric science, planetary probe design, and next-gen manufacturing, SpaceAM is setting new standards in space exploration design engineering.
