Where We Came From
FAST Space Corporation was founded with a singular mission: Redefine humanity’s future beyond Earth. While others focused on reaching orbit, we focus on building what comes next—a living, working infrastructure across the Solar System.
Our journey didn’t begin in aerospace—it began in the high-stakes world of Oil & Gas, Deep-Level Mining, Renewable Energy, and Advanced Systems Design. The founder of FAST Space, a seasoned South African entrepreneur, built a career over 30 years across sectors where failure was never an option—collaborating with industry leaders like Shell Oil, Honeywell, BAE Systems, and Rolls-Royce Power Systems.
As global energy shifted and Space became the new frontier, he saw the future clearly—and he built toward it. With over 15 years of self-funded R&D, he created the technologies FAST Space now brings to market: Space Refueling, Asteroid & Planetary Mining, Cosmic Radiation Shielding, Life Support Systems, Next-Gen Propulsion, and more.
What sets FAST Space apart is this unique blend of expertise—we are not a spin-off of the aerospace industry. We are born from industries that work under the harshest, most unforgiving conditions on Earth—industries that know what it takes to design systems that operate in extreme environments, without compromise.
Today, FAST Space is headquartered in Florida, USA, with multiple patent filings and operational prototypes that prove one thing: we’re not theorizing about the future—we’re engineering it.
