Starfighters Space, Inc. is a pioneering aerospace company that operates a fleet of seven F-104 Starfighters, enabling it to perform air-launch capabilities at speeds of Mach 2. The company is based in Cape Canaveral, FL. The company is in the process of obtaining a launch license from the FAA and aims to become a cost-effective provider for satellite launches. The company's Starlaunch program is designed to carry payloads to 45,000 feet for air launch, targeting the rapidly growing small satellite market. The company offers dedicated launch services for smaller payloads, with pricing around $15,000 per kg for a "taxi" service and $24,000 per kg for more controlled launches. Starfighters Space emphasizes improved scheduling and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional rideshare options. The company's current clientele includes major organizations such as Lockheed Martin, GE, and the Air Force Research Laboratory. In addition to satellite launches, Starfighters Space is involved in hypersonic rocket development, with their Starlaunch II rocket aiming for speeds up to Mach 5. The company also provides advanced pilot training for operating the F-104 and engages in hypersonic research in collaboration with the Air Force Research Lab. The company was founded by Rick Svetkoff. Rick Svetkoff has been the CEO since incorporation.
