\u201cIt\u2019s the world\u2019s first and most capable magnetic stabilization systems for satellites, and it\u2019s now ready commercially,\u201d Arshavsky said.<\/p>\n

Choosing LA<\/p>\n
To sell its attitude-control actuator and develop new products, Zenno is putting down roots in Los Angeles. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you look at the map of aerospace companies, they\u2019re insanely dense here in Los Angeles,\u201d Arshavsky said. \u201cI have full confidence that we can make it work here. I\u2019ve seen it done here before, and I understand how it\u2019s been done before.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Los Angeles is more expensive than other U.S. cities, Zenno chose the location because it offers access to \u201cpartners, customers, investors and talent,\u201d Arshavsky said.<\/p>\n
Some Zenno employees will relocate from New Zealand. The company also will hire locally. <\/p>\n
By September or October, \u201cwe\u2019ll have a facility here to produce our product at a higher scale than is possible in New Zealand and to continue developing new products based on our platform that we\u2019ve pioneered,\u201d Arshavsky said.<\/p>\n
Long-term vision<\/p>\n
Zenno was founded in 2017 on the idea that high-temperature superconductors offer promise for space mobility and radiation shielding.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s an unlimited amount of energy in space,\u201d Ashavsky said. \u201cWe want to make sure that when we go to space, we live off the resources available to us, instead of taking resources from Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Initially, much of Zenno\u2019s technology is likely to remain in Earth orbit, but the technology has important applications for lunar infrastructure, Arshavsky said. \u201cWe look forward to enabling infrastructure on the moon and infrastructure between Earth and the moon.\u201d<\/p>\n
