This Month's Story

Putting Our Heads Down
and Building

This month, the Peregrine Space team spent their time grinding away on technical work and meeting with vendors, customers, and potential investors. This month was spent primarily in the office, building product and making connections, with less time at events than last month. Although, we did get out to a great Solver Social event in El Segundo, and even a weekend camping trip for two of our co-founders.

April saw some great opportunities for us. Our multipurpose payloads have gained the interest of some defense primes, other small businesses, and plenty of eyes in between. Peregrine Space is in talks with these customers (and potential customers) who are interested in using our hardware in exciting and disparate use cases.


Additionally, Alyas, our Software Intern, is nearing the end of his internship. Tyler and Ian are looking forward to attending Alyas's end-of-program presentation at UCI in the first week of June. His great work is being handed off to our expert Software Team members, who have joined Peregrine Space in the past few weeks.

A Multitool

The versatility of our hardware has really shined this month: from unique use-cases coming in customer requests, to unique use-cases in proposals we are submitting for Small Business Innovation Research programs (SBIRs). The modularity of our systems and the flexibility of our hardware has meant our product can be used all over the place.

A Growing Team

The Peregrine Space team is growing! In May, we welcomed two software experts onto the team. We are all very happy to be working together and the new members of the team have voiced great excitement for the work to come! Stay tuned for formal announcemnts.

Upcoming Conferences

Our team is anticipating a great time at the Space Tech Expo in Anaheim, CA in the first week of June. Peregrine Space will be walking the floor and has a full day of B2B meetings planned, as well. Next will be Peregrine Space presenting (with a corporate partner) at the Poster Session of Small Satellite Conference in Utah in August. We hope to see you in Anaheim and are looking forward to Utah, too!

Weekend Camping for a Couple Co-founders

This Memorial Day weekend, co-founders Tyler and Ian took a road trip/camping trip with some friends. Tyler got to experience Zion National Park for the first time and Tyler and Ian both finally got to see Grand Teton National Park! They also got to see a moose, a beaver, a black bear, some beautiful mountains, and have some surprisingly great food along the way! All the while, Peregrine Space's Starlink kept us on top of company emails and a few work calls from the road.

Mission Tracker

Updated May 31, 2026
Completed Objective: At the most recent Solver Social, Tyler and Ian made some great connections and fantastic conversation. As a small business, we are always opening new doors. Events like this one make it easy to do over food and drinks! Shout-out to the wonderful people at PADT and Wells Fargo for throwing the event.
In Progress: Peregrine Space continues its funding round, enabling faster company scaling and team expansion to make an even bigger mark on industry capabilities. This round will close in June.
In Progress: Peregrine Space continued to prepare for contract kick-offs with our 01 and 08 cutomers. These contracts involve delivery of flight hardware.
Up Next: Peregrine will be working with our corporate partner to finish writing and preparing for our joint poster for presentation at Small Sat 2026. We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration and illustrating the trade-offs for rendezvous and precision operations (RPO) using passive sensors, active sensors, neither, or both!

"It's easy to lose sight of the world around you when you're deep in product design, or in a windowless optics lab. Getting out and seeing the world (and a National Park or two) is a great way to remember the problems you're solving, and to keep motivated through it all."
