About Kall Morris Inc
Values
You’re never too good to stop improving. Building upon the initial groundwork of orbital debris research and commitments, KMI uses established practices as the foundation for developing practical solutions to modern orbital problems and advancing innovations to keep humankind’s presence in space on the cutting edge. Through engagements and collaborations with large corporations and small businesses alike, KMI creates an inclusive environment to invite and manage innovative solutions to address the challenges of efficient and optimized use of space for industry and research.
Timeline
KMI’s story began when the co-founders met in 2014, with Adam Kall and Austin Morris assigned as suitemates in the university dorms, at the same university as Troy Morris. While the co-founders would establish a strong interconnected relationship in those years of study and forays into business experience, it wouldn’t be until after their respective graduations from Northern Michigan University (NMU) that the three would later reunite.
During their initial forays into industry and over after-work comradery, their shared drive for building more than was attainable in their current roles led to discussions of space, first principles, future science, and the unique perspectives and opportunities thereof, that there came about the potential of a unified company to bring solutions forward in a continuing, lifelong enterprise to be named: Kall Morris Incorporated.
Following the successful first round of investment financing, the founders expanded the capability of KMI beyond research and academic discussion towards developing the solutions necessary to manage in-space support services. In September 2021, the team grew with the first employees, increasing the ability for research, development, and partnerships. The team engages with customers, competition, and collaborators as we all work toward the shared goal of #KeepingSpaceClearForAll.

Marquette, Michigan, is the queen city of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, located on the southern shore of Lake Superior. The city is a metropolitan gem between the world’s largest freshwater lake (by surface area) and the forest-covered mountains of the expansive wilderness. The choice of Marquette as the home of KMI and its place of incorporation continues a history of space pursuits from the Upper Peninsula.
In the 1960s and ‘70s, Copper Harbor, at the northern tip of the U.P. where it juts into Lake Superior, was home to the Keweenaw Rocket Range, a launch site for the University of Michigan and NASA meteorological rockets and test rockets. Michigan’s first rocket to reach space was launched from this site on January 29, 1971. Building from these endeavors, KMI is excited to work with the Upper Peninsula community to protect and explore space.
This work begins at our lab in the historic Masonic Center, where KMI operates our headquarters from 130 W Washington Street in downtown Marquette. If you're around or coming through town, drop us a line!
