Katalyst Space Technologies Internship Opportunity Details

Company Description: At Katalyst, we believe the expansion of human activity in space is not a distant future. It is happening right now. As more satellites and spacecraft fill orbit, the need for reliable, advanced vehicles has never been greater. We are building spacecraft that can refuel, inspect, protect, and maneuver around other satellites to keep them safe and operational.
