16U Satellite
Space RobotsGITAI's 16U Satellite (GITAI SC1) is an in-house-developed 16U CubeSat technology demonstration satellite, launched December 2024 aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 Bandwagon-2 mission. It successfully validated GITAI's custom spacecraft bus and control systems by deploying a tethered target and observing it via cameras, LiDAR, and a laser rangefinder, achieving "Full Success" across all three mission criteria (communication, system functionality, and data acquisition). GITAI states the ~20kg satellite bus can be manufactured and sold for approximately $1 million with a 6-month lead time, serving as a precursor to the company's planned on-orbit servicing satellite products.

Model 2Research & DevelopmentG-1
Space RobotsGITAI G1 is a general-purpose, dual-arm humanoid space robot developed by GITAI Inc., designed to perform manipulation, assembly, and servicing tasks inside and outside space stations and future lunar bases. It combines AI autonomy with teleoperation via GITAI's proprietary "H1" control system, and has completed a successful ISS technology demonstration (2021) and simulated in-space assembly/manufacturing tasks (2022). GITAI has since secured contracts with Japan's METI and JAXA to continue developing related space robotics technology.

Space RobotsGITAI R1 is a four-wheeled lunar rover with dual 1.5-meter robotic arms, developed by GITAI in partnership with JAXA. In December 2021/February 2022, it successfully completed technology demonstrations at JAXA's Sagamihara mock lunar surface facility — driving over rocks, climbing 15–20° slopes, assembling a solar-panel base structure, and collecting soil samples, controlled via VR teleoperation. It has since been succeeded by the R1.5 model, GITAI's current commercially marketed lunar rover.
