Rendezvous Robotics exits stealth with $3M to build reconfigurable space infrastructure

For decades, engineers designing space structures have been constrained by the rocket fairing: only hardware that can be folded up to fit inside can go to orbit.

The International Space Station, the largest single object humanity has built in space, was assembled over dozens of launches and cost over $100 billion. And, of course, there is no way to modify or alter the structure once it has been assembled. Rendezvous Robotics wants to c
