OpenOrbit manages tailored satellite missions for government and commercial payload owners from design through disposal.
OpenOrbit helps government and commercial mission owners turn payload requirements into satellite missions. It combines mission and constellation design, payload development, manufacturing, testing, launch procurement, and in-orbit operations, including insurance, compliance, and disposal.
Compared with the standardized platforms and payload interfaces of Loft Physical Missions, OpenOrbit centers procurement on a tailored mission and payload development support. Proprietary mission control software and third-party ground stations support operations, giving customers a single service across the mission lifecycle.
