While America’s space industry is well-established, the supply chain providing parts and components for rockets, satellites, and spacecraft is lacking. Gimbal Space aims to change this by offering components for spacecraft orientation subsystems that are not only cheaper but also delivered much faster.
Founder Dhaval Shiyani, with a background in scaling hardware systems at companies like Tesla and Ethicon, recognized the inefficiencies in the space industry supply chain. His experience in high-volume manufacturing and rapid company growth led him to establish Gimbal Space to address the challenges faced by legacy suppliers in the space industry.
Gimbal’s initial focus is on the attitude determination and control system (ADCS), which requires precision components like star trackers, reaction wheels, and torque rods. The company plans to expand into other ADCS components in the future, aiming to provide faster delivery and lower prices compared to traditional suppliers.
With a manufacturing partner in India, Gimbal is set to revolutionize the space industry supply chain by delivering reliable hardware in less time and at reduced costs. The company has raised $1.2 million to fund its efforts in getting components into orbit and expanding its manufacturing capabilities.
