We track every data point, every milestone, and every price breakthrough on the path to orbital infrastructure — and what it means for the assets worth securing there.
As human expansion moves beyond Earth, economic systems will follow. Space Vault tracks the data — and builds the infrastructure.
As human expansion moves beyond Earth, economic systems will follow. Space Vault explores long-term digital asset custody and infrastructure designed for resilience, neutrality, and longevity. The economics are accelerating faster than most realise.
Read the ThesisTrue asset security requires thinking beyond short-term systems. Space Vault focuses on resilient frameworks designed to protect digital value across future economic environments.

Get Early AccessData center in space is much easier than people may think. Human civilisation uses less than a trillionth of the sun's energy output. We here on Earth — we are like microbes on a dust mote compared to the sun.

Tracking what it will take for space to go from interesting to inevitable.
Starship's cost target isn't just a rocket milestone — it's the precise price point where in-orbit manufacturing, data centers, and asset storage stop being science fiction and start being spreadsheets. We map exactly what unlocks at each tier: $2,720/kg today, $500/kg near-term, $100/kg when the game changes entirely.
Read the AnalysisVarda Space just signed United Therapeutics. The first commercial path to products made in orbit is no longer theoretical.
Read →Eight organisations committed capital to orbital compute in 90 days. The $39B market is real — and the race has already started.
Read →"If you had to throw away an aircraft after every flight, that would be a very expensive flight. If you only have to refuel, then it's the cost of the fuel." Full reusability is the only economic lever that matters. Lower launch costs could unlock everything from large satellite constellations to space-based solar and, eventually, human missions to Mars.
Most financial infrastructure is optimised for quarterly returns. Space Vault is designed for generational preservation of digital value — in economic environments that don't exist yet. The assets worth vaulting today may be the foundations of tomorrow's orbital economy.
Infrastructure independent from geographic and political constraints. Orbit is the only location on Earth's economic map where no flag flies and no court issues subpoenas. That neutrality has enormous and underappreciated value.
Designed with long-term stability and system redundancy in mind. The infrastructure that survives worst-case scenarios on Earth — financial, geopolitical, environmental — will be the infrastructure that matters most. We're building for that world.
A long-term view on economic systems beyond Earth. Why the logic of sovereign, neutral asset custody extends beyond terrestrial solutions — and what the tipping point looks like.
Why current frameworks may not scale into future environments. The legal, technical, and economic architecture of orbital custody — and what needs to be built before the economics arrive.
Examining resilience in evolving global and orbital systems. From geopolitical fragility to systemic financial risk — why the smart money is already thinking beyond Earth-based security.
