RIOT Drive Mk.I
Naphthalene microchip thruster for orbital hop and station-keeping.
SpaceViti · Whitefield line
Photonic propulsion and light-based quantum compute, assembled as a live digital twin of the floor. Run the bays. Hit the contract.
Four SKUs
Every unit walks the same seven bays. Mix changes the bottleneck. Lithography hates Q-Cores. The coupler hates HCF. Staff accordingly.

Naphthalene microchip thruster for orbital hop and station-keeping.

Light-based quantum compute module, waveguide-dense.

Hollow-core fiber link for AI parameter streaming in vacuum.

Silicon-photonics ranging puck for autonomous formation flight.
Seven bays
Grow photonic silicon and hollow-core lattice from seed.
Write quantum-photonic waveguides. The usual bottleneck.
Stack the naphthalene microchip thruster and nozzle ring.
Align hollow-core fiber to the chip with sub-micron patience.
Bond the light-based compute module and close the ceramic.
Thermal-vacuum, yield screen, and photonic continuity.
Crate, seal, and stage for the constellation.
Hire, upgrade, unjam. Five shifts to a constellation. Three shorts and the window closes.
Take the floor
Manufacturing is the bottleneck of deep tech. We run the twin before we cut metal.
Naphthalene microchip thrusters stacked, nozzle-ringed, and vacuum-screened on bay three.
Waveguides written at litho, packed as Q-Cores. Light is the bus, not a metaphor.
Yield, OEE, cash, and jams. The same levers a real line uses — compressed into a shift.
First shift is RIOT only. You have two minutes of floor time. Lithography will clog.
