Solidification and microgravity materials
Containerless processing, metal additive manufacturing, solidification fronts, porosity, inclusions, and microgravity experiment design.
Research collaboration
The orbital forge
Built around the hardest constraint.
Ogun Space exists to solve the qualification barrier between making metal in microgravity and trusting that metal to carry structural load.
The company is named for Ogun, the Yoruba orisha associated with iron, fire, tools, and the forge. The name reflects the work: applying controlled heat, fields, and craft to make structural metal where gravity cannot do the sorting.
Operating principles
Evidence before spectacle.
Ogun's public vision is large. Its technical program is intentionally narrow, falsifiable, and gated.
01
Physics first
Do not build an orbital factory around a defect-control mechanism that has not won the transport-versus-freezing race.
02
Qualification is design
Material evidence, NDE, allowables, traceability, and mission assurance are part of the product architecture from the start.
03
Fail cleanly
Every research phase has explicit no-go criteria so the company can stop, redirect, or narrow the application based on evidence.
04
Build the ecosystem
Work with platform, robotics, materials, NDE, and spacecraft partners instead of pretending a single organization owns the full orbital stack.
Commercial mission
Decouple structural scale from launch volume.
The strategic objective is to make the dimensions of a space structure a function of mission physics and orbital economics, not solely the diameter of a rocket fairing.
That outcome begins with a narrow commercial wedge: a certified metal member that eliminates one costly deployment or fairing constraint.
Work with OgunTeam development
Disciplines Ogun is assembling.
The website does not present placeholder biographies as real personnel. Ogun's technical and commercial network must be built from documentable experience.
Engineering
Fields, thermal systems, and controls
Induction and electromagnetic actuation, high-power electronics, thermal modeling, MHD, sensing, closed-loop control, and flight hardware.
Engineering networkQualification
NDE, fracture control, and assurance
Micro-CT, acoustic resonance, metallography, mechanical allowables, damage tolerance, quality systems, and spacecraft mission assurance.
Qualification partners
Long-horizon objective
Infrastructure that outlives missions.
The endpoint is a transferable industrial capability: qualify structural metal made in orbit, around the Moon, and eventually near Mars, using a common process-control and evidence framework.
