Anchored in groundwork of orbital debris experts, KMI personnel uses established practices as a starting point to plan practical solutions to modern orbital problems and create innovations to keep humankinds presence in space on the cutting edge. Communicating with debris experts and novices alike, KMI creates an accessible backdrop to invite and manage innovation for solving this problem. The firm began operations when two of original principals met at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, MI - finding a common interest in talking about of space pursuits and a shared passion for learning about the opportunities that space provides. Identifying a persistent obstacle - orbital debris. Beginning in November 2019, KMI teammet with community and national leaders began an ongoing conversation about orbital debris and solutions KMI provides. Following the successful first round of investment financing, founders expanded capability of KMI beyond research and academic discussion towards developing the solutions necessary to manage orbital debris. In September 2021, the team grew with the first employees, increasing the ability for research, development, and partnerships. These Space Rangers join with customers, competition, and collaborators as we all work toward the shared goal of #KeepingSpaceClearForAll. Youre never too good to stop improving.

Timeline Austin Morris working with engineering KMI's beginnings started when Adam Kall ( /kAWl'/ ), Austin Morris ( /Mor?ris/ ), and Troy M. Morris met while studying at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Michigan. The friendship was filled with ambitious talk of space pursuits and a shared passion for learning about the opportunities that space provides. A persistent obstacle continued to emerge - orbital debris limits those future opportunities. KMI incorporated in November 2019 to address this problem. With current projects in development and future projects planned, the KMI team started meeting with community and national leaders - ranging from the idea incubator at their alma mater to the offices of NASA and orbital debris experts - to start an ongoing conversation about orbital debris and the solutions KMI provides.
