January 20, 2026 – Washington, D.C.—The Commercial Space Federation (CSF) is pleased to welcome Max Space, Slingshot Aerospace, and Muon Space. Together, these companies strengthen CSF’s advocacy efforts across space infrastructure, space safety, and advanced satellite systems.
Max Space: builds space real estate, pioneering the only advanced expandable habitats, immense, superstrong and radically economical. The expandable habitat launches compactly and expands 20x once deployed in orbit or other destination, allowing a 350m3 fully equipped habitat to launch on a single Falcon 9 rocket. An evolutionary leap, the habitats scale seamlessly across Earth, Moon and Mars for space stations and surface habitats, uniquely accelerating human’s permanent presence beyond Earth.
Slingshot Aerospace: provides government and commercial partners worldwide with AI-powered solutions for satellite tracking, space traffic coordination, and space modeling and simulation. Its platform integrates data from global sensors, satellite and launch history databases, owner-operators, and third-party providers to create a unified, dynamic view of past, present, and predicted space activities. Founded in 2017, Slingshot is driven by its mission to make space safe, sustainable, and secure, with locations in Colorado, Texas, Canada, Taiwan, and the UK.
Muon Space: is an end-to-end space systems company that designs, builds, and operates mission- optimized satellite constellations to deliver critical data and enable real-time decision-making in space. Its proprietary Halo™ technology integrates advanced spacecraft platforms, payload management, and software-defined orchestration to deliver high-performance capabilities from concept to orbit. With production facilities in Silicon Valley, Muon Space serves commercial and national security customers.
“I’m excited to welcome MaxSpace, Slingshot, and Muon Space to the CSF family. Their leadership in expandable habitats, space traffic coordination, and mission-optimized satellite constellations strengthens CSF’s mission to advance U.S. competitiveness and responsible growth in space.”
– Dave Cavossa, President, Commercial Space Federation (CSF)
