Orbital Transportation Systems
Strong demand for Orbital Transportation Systems
Light / medium launchers shall be enhanced with SSO placement capabilities (kick-stages/ deployers).
Service growing orbit population (extend life-span, re-profile, etc.)
Central&Eastern European Region shall posess its satellite constellation to solve economic and security issues, while it is impossible to build a ground-based cosmodrome on the territory of 3Seas States.
Our OTSs:
Innovative Space Technology Capitalizing on the Space Heritage
Standard navigation devices and modular control systems enable the independent orientation and stabilization.
Sufficiently energy armed with proprietary ion-plasma (LEO) and/or chemical (GEO and LLO) multiple-ignitable propulsion systems.
Minimalistic design, embodied with new composites and alloys.
Energy-saving ballistic calculations.
Equipped with the scanner, docking port and manipulator enabling versatile orbital use cases.
Minimal time&expense to operation.
