RapidFort unveiled its Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Warehouse feature, taking a major leap forward in Software Attack Surface Management. Large portions of the SBOM Warehouse were developed in partnership with SpaceWERX under the Orbital Prime program. RapidFort is one of 41 companies participating in the Orbital Prime program. This innovative platform capability provides a centralized location for SBOMs for all of an organization’s containers, aligning with the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology's recommendation. This new functionality is part of the process RapidFort uses to automatically eliminate more than 80% of software vulnerabilities, during development, with no code changes.

The United States Space Force and Space Systems Command awarded Starfish Space $37.5 million to develop, launch, and operate the company’s Otter satellite servicing vehicle in geostationary orbit by 2026. The four-year Strategic Funding Increase contract combines the $37.5 million in government funds with an additional $30 million in venture capital investment. The Otter spacecraft would provide augmented maneuver options for military satellites by docking and attaching to the client satellite and using Otter’s own propulsion systems, giving the military satellite a push or a pull, making specific movements or adjustments to its orbit. Starfish Space, based in Kent, Washington, was founded in 2019 by former Blue Origin and NASA engineers. Over the past few years, Starfish has received several SBIR contracts from SpaceWERX.
