Catalyx

Catalyx Space provides end‑to‑end autonomous labs and re‑entry capsules in low Earth orbit, giving teams turnkey access to microgravity experiments, AI edge‑computing, and in‑space manufacturing.   

Their vertically integrated platform removes integration fees and minimum mass requirements by handling satellite bus fabrication, launch logistics, mission operations, and sample return through a single dashboard—complete with real‑time telemetry and on‑board power, thermal, and communications automation.   

Founded in 2021 by CEO Rifath Shaarook alongside co‑founders Clinton Antony, Keerthan Chand  Aluvula, and Saqib Hussain, Catalyx flew its first orbital mission within six months and has since powered hosted payloads and AI‑driven testbeds. After closing a $1.7 M pre‑seed round from Founders, Inc., HF0 and other backers, Catalyx Space is positioning itself as the “AWS for Space” infrastructure provider, now growing to a team of 8.
