K2 Space
K2 Space builds Mega Class commercial satellite platforms with up to 20 kW of power and 3,000 kg of payload capacity.
Civilian and military use
K2 describes its products as commercial satellite platforms for communications and sensing, and its site reports supplier roles in a U.S. Space Force satellite communications program and testing for missile-defense communications. This documents both civilian and military-related offerings or customers; it does not establish that all products serve both purposes.
