Executive Comment
Dakin Sloss, Founder and General Partner at Prime Movers Lab (which invests in physics-powered startups), said Momentus has developed groundbreaking and efficient water-powered, in-space rockets and has also validated the massive market demand for their services with hundreds of millions of dollars in LOIs. The company is thrilled to back this extraordinary team of seasoned entrepreneurs and space industry veterans in their impressive pace of introducing novel technology to space — which the firm expects will continue with the upcoming in-space demonstration during the first half of 2019.
