We design, weld and fly reusable starships from a shipyard 408 km above the Pacific, taking them to every world that circles the Sun.

Every rocket in history was thrown away after one flight. We build ships that come home, refuel in orbit and leave again.

The Forge

Assembled 400 km above the weather.

No launch loads, no wind shear, no gravity sag. Anchor Shipyard stacks a Meridian-class starship in 19 days.

  1. 01Hull stackQueuedSixteen rings of 304L stainless steel, laser-welded in microgravity.
  2. 02Heat shieldQueued18,000 hexagonal ceramic tiles rated to 1,650 °C on the windward side.
  3. 03Aero surfacesQueuedFour electro-actuated flaps steer the belly-flop through thick atmospheres.
  4. 04PropulsionQueuedSix Helix-V full-flow methalox engines — three sea-level, three vacuum.
  5. 05Crew moduleQueued1,000 m³ of pressurised volume under the nose. Room for forty.

The Neighbourhood

Eight worlds. One ship to reach them all.

From Mercury's scorched iron to Neptune's supersonic winds, 4.5 billion kilometres of real estate — and every Meridian carries enough propellant to get anywhere in it after one refuelling in orbit.
