Orbital Operations

Orbital Operations is dedicated to safeguarding critical satellite infrastructure through the development of high-thrust, reusable space vehicles designed for satellite defense. The company focuses on protecting essential assets, such as GPS and military communication satellites, from potential threats posed by adversarial nations like China and Russia.

Their innovative vehicle leverages established propulsion systems, similar to those used in traditional launch vehicles, enhanced by a proprietary cryogenic management system. This approach aims to achieve over 100 times the thrust compared to existing in-space propulsion methods.

The founding team, Ross and [Other Founder Name], brings over 15 years of combined aerospace expertise from leading organizations including NASA, Aerojet Rocketdyne, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Relativity Space. Their collaborative experience spans more than 3.5 years, focusing on propulsion systems, turbomachinery, and the development of high-performing engineering teams.

Orbital Operations is currently focused on demonstrating its unique cryogenic management system, with plans to launch an operational vehicle by 2027, marking a significant step towards enhanced satellite security.
