Organization, Plan of Business Operations, Going Concern and Management's Plans, Risks and Uncertainties and Basis of Presentation | Note 1 — Organization, Plan of Business Operations, Going Concern and Management’s Plans, Risks and Uncertainties and Basis of Presentation Organization and Plan of Business Operations Trajectory Alpha Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 1, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, consolidation, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. All activity for the period from February 1, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, the IPO (as defined below) and, since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating The Company’s sponsor is Trajectory Alpha Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). On December 14, 2021, the Company’s completed the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 17,250,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), including the issuance of 2,250,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s over-allotment option being exercised in full. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) and one-half Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter, the Company consummated the private placement of 5,725,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrants in a private placement transaction. The Trust Account The funds in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 Business Combination Following the closing of the IPO and full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriter on December 14, 2021, $174,225,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited into the Trust Account. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a Target Business. As used herein, “Target Business” must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Company will have (i) the 18-month 21-month 24-month per-share Going Concern and Management’s Plans As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $721,489 in its operating bank account and working capital of $1,046,619. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with Working Capital Loans (as defined below) (see Note 3). As of September 30, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans. Management has determined that the possibility that the Company may be unsuccessful in consummating an initial Business Combination within 18 months (or up to 24 months if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination for total payment value of $3,450,000) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and thereby be required to cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve, raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial Business Combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Risks and Uncertainties Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchased by publicly traded U.S. corporations and certain U.S. subsidiaries of publicly traded non-U.S. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2021 and for the period from February 1, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 which are included the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies included in the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the year then ended, which were included the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K Net Loss Per Common Stock Net loss per common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock for the period, excluding stock subject to forfeiture. The Company has two classes of stock, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of stock. The Company applies the two-class The calculation of diluted loss per share does not consider the effect of the warrants outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 that were issued in connection with the IPO and the private placement because the warrants are contingently exercisable and the contingencies have not yet been met. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 14,350,000 Class A common stock in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per common stock is the same as basic net loss per common stock for the periods presented. For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 September 30, 2022 Class A Class B Class A Class B Basic and diluted net loss per share: Numerator: Allocation of net income (loss) $ 255,444 $ 63,861 $ (177,530 ) $ (44,382 ) Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding including common stock subject to redemption 17,250,000 4,312,500 17,250,000 4,312,500 Basic and diluted net loss per share $ 0.01 $ 0.01 $ (0.01 ) $ (0.01 ) Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company determines the income tax provision by using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items occurring in the quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 6.0% and 15.9%, which differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the change in valuation allowance recognized against deferred tax assets in the U.S. Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized in full or in part. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence on a jurisdictional basis to estimate if deferred tax assets will be recognized and when it is more likely than not that all or some deferred tax assets will not be realized, and a valuation allowance must be established. As of September 30, 2022, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance in U.S. Recent Accounting Standards Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transactions | Note 3 — Related Party Transactions Due from Related Party In December 2021 a related party loan was overpaid $14,775 in excess of amounts borrowed by the Company. This amount was repaid in February 2022. Due to Related Party In order to facilitate payment of certain offering costs, an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may pay for costs on behalf of the Company. The borrowings are non-interest Working Capital Loans In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, such loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding. Administrative Services Agreement We entered into an agreement, commencing on the effective date of the IPO, to pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space and secretarial and administrative services provided to members of the Company’s management team. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $30,000 and $90,000 of such administrative support services expense, respectively. During the period from February 1, 2021 (inception) to September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $0 of such administrative support services expense. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: • Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; • Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and • Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Net Loss Per Common Stock | Net Loss Per Common Stock Net loss per common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock for the period, excluding stock subject to forfeiture. The Company has two classes of stock, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of stock. The Company applies the two-class The calculation of diluted loss per share does not consider the effect of the warrants outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 that were issued in connection with the IPO and the private placement because the warrants are contingently exercisable and the contingencies have not yet been met. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 14,350,000 Class A common stock in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per common stock is the same as basic net loss per common stock for the periods presented. For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 September 30, 2022 Class A Class B Class A Class B Basic and diluted net loss per share: Numerator: Allocation of net income (loss) $ 255,444 $ 63,861 $ (177,530 ) $ (44,382 ) Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding including common stock subject to redemption 17,250,000 4,312,500 17,250,000 4,312,500 Basic and diluted net loss per share $ 0.01 $ 0.01 $ (0.01 ) $ (0.01 ) |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company determines the income tax provision by using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items occurring in the quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 6.0% and 15.9%, which differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the change in valuation allowance recognized against deferred tax assets in the U.S. Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized in full or in part. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence on a jurisdictional basis to estimate if deferred tax assets will be recognized and when it is more likely than not that all or some deferred tax assets will not be realized, and a valuation allowance must be established. As of September 30, 2022, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance in U.S. |
