About Xtenti

Xtenti, LLC is a space logistics company established in late 2015 that designs, develops, and qualifies hardware enabling more affordable and responsive access to space. The company's core products, the FANTM-RiDE dispenser family and FANTM-RAiL deployer family, allow launch providers and satellite operators to containerize, reconfigure, and integrate rideshare payloads with greater schedule flexibility than legacy approaches, including the ability to add, replace, or remove payloads within hours of launch.

Headquartered administratively in Dallas, Texas, with primary engineering and operations based in Los Angeles, California, Xtenti has patented, developed, qualified, and flown multiple space logistics technologies and has integrated numerous satellites on complex multi-manifest missions. The company operates as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and has been awarded multiple U.S. Space Force and Air Force SBIR Phase II contracts (totaling over $5.3 million) to develop long-duration on-orbit storage, pre-positioned payload integration, and rapid responsive-launch capabilities.

Xtenti's name derives from the Latin 'extenti,' meaning 'reaching forward,' reflecting its focus on paradigm-shifting logistics solutions intended to increase launch flexibility, lower mission risk, and stabilize launch schedules for the small satellite market. Notable public work includes a 2023 collaboration with Firefly Aerospace to fly the FANTM-RiDE dispenser on the Elytra orbital vehicle in support of a responsive space demonstration for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
