Momentus
Robot types: Orbital transfer vehicle. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 26.8/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 8 of 11 among Space robotics companies with incidents (80 tracked).
Analyst brief
The record contains two entries: a 2022 orbital transfer vehicle power malfunction following launch (severity 3) and a 2021 SEC settlement with Stable Road and Momentus over false claims (severity 3), both at equal severity. One entry is an operational malfunction and the other a regulatory enforcement action, giving the record a mixed regulator- and incident-driven character rather than a single type. The record spans a technical failure and a disclosure/compliance matter roughly a year apart, showing two distinct failure types rather than repetition of one.
