We're building the future of labor in space.

As humanity expands beyond Earth, the infrastructure to support that expansion needs to be built. But the No. 1 constraint in space has always been labor. Today, it costs $130,000 per hour to keep a human alive in orbit. Our astronauts spend much of that time on repetitive, mundane, yet essential tasks, entirely unassisted.

That's where we start. Our robots work alongside astronauts, handling cargo logistics, experiment setup, and infrastructure maintenance aboard the ISS.

But astronaut augmentation is just the beginning. The same autonomous capabilities that free up crew time today become the foundation for operations where no humans are present at all. Commercial space stations, orbital servicing, manufacturing, and beyond.

From our base at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, our team is preparing for JOYRIDE-1, our ISS technology demonstration mission launching in 2027.

In September, JOY flew on a parabolic flight in Canada testing six degree of freedom flight in true microgravity for the first time. It was one of our final tests before we hand JOY over for her trip to the ISS next year.

Come behind the scenes over the next few weeks with a few clips leading up to a short documentary we are releasing soon!

Stay tuned.

We're excited to announce our partnership with Voyager Technologies as our mission management provider for JOYRIDE-1, our year-long free-flying robotics deployment to the ISS, scheduled for early 2027.

Voyager's team will support us across payload integration, safety certification, launch coordination, and on-orbit operations as we bring autonomous robotics to microgravity.

Big ideas deserve a clear path to space. Voyager’s mission management services will help @Icarus_Robotics take Joyride to the @Space_Station, handling everything from launch coordination to on-orbit execution.
