Orbital After Dark - Open Registration
Aerospace, Energy & the Physics of What Comes Next
Hosted by Frontier Makerspace
An after-hours mixer for the people quietly building the hardest things on Earth—and beyond it.
Orbital After Dark brings together founders, engineers, researchers, investors, and operators working at the edges of space tech, nuclear, aerospace, advanced energy, propulsion, materials, and national-scale infrastructure. This is not a pitch night. It’s not a panel. It’s a room full of serious builders, off the record, in a setting designed for real conversations.
Expect a curated crowd spanning:
Space systems, launch, satellites, and orbital infrastructure
Nuclear, fusion, fission-adjacent energy and grid-scale tech
Aerospace, defense-adjacent deep tech, propulsion, materials
Advanced manufacturing, robotics, and frontier AI for physical systems
Orbital After Dark is for founders, senior engineers, scientists, investors, and operators working on technically hard problems. If your work lives at the intersection of atoms, electrons, propulsion, or orbital mechanics, this is your room.
What this is not
Not a demo day
Not a recruiting fair
Not a hype cycle
Location Frontier Makerspace — San Francisco
A live hardware environment with machines, prototypes, and real projects in motion. This is where deep tech unwinds—and quietly accelerates.
This event is hosted at the Frontier Tower:
We are transforming a 16-floor tower in San Francisco into a self-governed vertical village—a hub for frontier technologies and creative arts. Tier-one labs presenting AI, Ethereum, biotech, neuroscience, longevity, robotics, human flourishing, and arts & music. These floors will house innovators and creators pushing the boundaries of human potential in a post-AI-singularity world.
