Serenity Space Technologies

What Serenity Space Technologies does

Serenity Space Technologies LLC is a privately-held systems engineering and space technology firm founded in 2023 in Easton, Maryland, operating with 1-10 employees. The company provides end-to-end systems engineering services spanning propulsion (solid, liquid, and electric), mechanical design, thermal analysis, electrical engineering, embedded software, radiation analysis, and integration and testing for spacecraft and mission programs. Its stated primary customer segment is space and aerospace companies, with secondary application of the same engineering disciplines to defense and national security, medical devices, nuclear components, and industrial/transportation systems.

The firm's core technology footprint is services-led rather than product-led: it sells consulting and engineering deliverables on a quote-based professional services model through direct enterprise sales, with the company website, phone, and email as the primary engagement channel. Its sole internally-developed product is CiTRS (Cislunar Transfer Ring Service), a conceptual modular spacecraft designed to transport payloads between LEO, cislunar space, or beyond, currently at the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) stage and positioned for partner co-development. The firm has also invested in content marketing (a 2025 blog series on propulsion and AI in space) and maintains LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter presences as top-of-funnel channels.

Revenue mechanics are professional services contracts plus a potential future licensing/co-development revenue stream from CiTRS. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is structured as an LLC in Maryland with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or acquisitions. Its competitive positioning rests on a senior team carrying decades of NASA, JPL, Northrop Grumman, and national defense program experience, including founder Jeffrey Hopkins' prior Chief Engineer roles on two NASA CLPS lunar lander programs managing over $300M in contract awards.

Direct peers

• Astrobotic Technology: Pittsburgh-based lunar lander developer and CLPS provider where Senior Systems Architect Warren James previously served as Technical Fellow. Closely comparable mission profile, customer base, and small-team spacecraft engineering focus.
• Redwire Space: Space-focused engineering and manufacturing company providing spacecraft structures, mechanisms, and integration services to civil and defense customers. Comparable mix of engineering services and space hardware across propulsion and structures.
• Firefly Aerospace: CLPS lunar lander provider and small launch vehicle developer with comparable spacecraft integration, propulsion, and mission planning capabilities. Similar scale trajectory and cislunar market positioning.
• Moon Express: Early-stage commercial lunar lander and spacecraft company pursuing NASA and commercial cislunar opportunities. Comparable small-team profile, lunar mission focus, and spacecraft systems engineering offerings.
• Intuitive Machines: Public CLPS lunar lander provider directly competing with Serenity's leadership alumni and offering end-to-end spacecraft and mission systems services. Comparable customer base, lunar focus, and propulsion expertise.
• Masten Space Systems: Small lunar lander and spacecraft systems developer; Warren James previously led CLPS conceptual design work at Masten. Directly comparable as a small-cap space company targeting cislunar missions and spacecraft engineering services.

Broad incumbents

• Lockheed Martin Space: Dominant aerospace prime with broad spacecraft, propulsion, and mission systems capabilities across civil and defense. Represents the established competition Serenity must differentiate against for government engineering work.
