The people behind it
Beginnings
A New Zealand space company targeting first launch in 2028, taking payload reservations for orbit and return.
Why people join
Outlier is building a scalable, reusable, uncrewed satellite platform launching in 2028, headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand. It's led by a team of global aerospace experts with a track record in mission-critical systems, offering end-to-end mission support from funding strategy to mission design and operations. The team is actively hiring senior engineers across avionics, mechanical, flight software, RF, HITL, and mission safety.
The bigger picture
Microgravity removes convection, buoyancy, and sedimentation — enabling new cells, crystal structures, and advanced materials that can't be made on Earth. By pairing high-cadence orbital access with safe return of payloads, Outlier aims to enable a sustainable orbital economy where in-space research and manufacturing become routine.
