Celestial Space Corporation, once seen as a growing force in the Ro-Space Launch Market, is now facing growing internal uncertainty as senior company officials quietly evaluate the long term viability of several core programs, according to multiple insider reports.

Multiple individuals close to the company tell RSN that internal reviews are underway to determine what Celestial Space’s future should look like as the company transitions from its early startup phase into what one source called “a moment for total strategic clarity.”

The last launch by the company took place in August 2024, using its current only operational vehicle, Osiris. The next flight, ECHO - 1, was planned within two months, but as of May 2025, no further launches have occurred, and no formal announcements have been made about future missions. The delays and silence over the past nine months have caused concern within the company, and outside the company.


Speculation is growing surrounding the fate of Osiris, once the centerpiece of Celestial’s future plans. Despite a large amount of previous marketing and promotion built around the vehicle, Osiris has been absent from recent company mentions, including planning documents and internal goals for 2025.

Multiple indicators now point to a quiet winding down or outright cancellation of the Osiris program. While no official statements have been made, its noted that Celestial’s 2025 discussions made no mention of the vehicle and instead centered on plans for future larger launch vehicles.

In recent months, senior leadership at Celestial Space Corporation has begun shaping a new long term goal for the company. A goal that aims to redefine the company's purpose beyond its current state. According to multiple individuals, the effort is not centered around a single mission, vehicle, or destination, but rather a reevaluation of what Celestial exists to accomplish over its lifespan.

Insiders say the emerging vision is centered on exploration beyond low Earth orbit, with company officials increasingly aligning internal thinking around how Celestial can become a foundational player in the next generation of the community. While the exact language of this new overarching goal is still being worked on, it is described as a desire to evolve Celestial from a provider into a long term enabler of Ro-Space growth and space activity.

The concept, still taking shape behind closed doors, has surfaced quietly in internal meetings, off the record briefings, and planning. Multiple sources hinted at broad themes being discussed: transport capabilities between Earth orbit and space, a long duration plan for future Ro-Space aid to lay groundwork for future visionaries.

“It is less about where we go, but more about what we enable others to do once we’re there.” Said Kwingo, the founder of Celestial Space Corp. in response to a question about the goals of the company. His overall response was vague but gave a look into what could be announced in the future.

Despite the tone of the strategy, there’s growing concern internally and externally about the lack of true visible progress from the company over the last several months. Celestial’s once active industry presence has gone quiet, with declining developments at their main launch and test facilities. The absence of development and communication has coincided with a notable slowdown in development cadence, and the unexplained absence of Osiris from all 2025 forward looking materials has only fueled speculation.

Internally, some engineers and staff have expressed concern over the vagueness. While many support the broader goals, the lack of a clearly communicated roadmap or tangible progress milestones has left teams uncertain about priorities. One employee, speaking on condition of being anonymous, said, “We’re all in on the future. But the path to get there still feels like it’s being written in real time.”

Still, those in leadership insist the shift is not a sign of any slow down in progress but of reinvention. “We are continuing to think long term,” said Kwingo. “Trying to avoid becoming just another launch company with a few rockets and a backlog. We want to be something more strategic, something with staying power.”

Whether Celestial Space can transform that vision into reality without losing momentum in the present remains to be seen. For now, the company remains silent on far goals, even as internal planning continues. If the new direction is released in the coming months, it may mark a turning point in the company or signal the beginning of a far more difficult period.


Kwingo, the founder and CEO, declined to comment on the status of Osiris or internal reviews of its future roadmap. In previous statements, he maintained that “adjustments are sometimes necessary.” and would have “more details to share soon as we can, but we are continuing work toward our next launches”

But for now, much remains uncertain. With no upcoming missions publicly scheduled, no mention of Osiris in active planning, and shifting internal priorities, Celestial Space appears to be at a crossroads. A point where the choices made in the next few months could redefine the company’s trajectory for the rest of its future.

Whether they come back as a company with a defined mission and new momentum, or one that loses ground in an increasingly competitive sector, will depend not just on vision, but execution.
