Eye of the Dragon: Orbital Ops

​RESCHEDULED

​Orbital Operations is building the next generation of high-performance space mobility. The startup is developing reusable, high-thrust orbital vehicles designed to maneuver rapidly across Earth orbit, enabling missions like satellite servicing, orbital defense, and responsive space operations. Its systems are built around advanced cryogenic propulsion and long-duration fuel storage, allowing spacecraft to remain in orbit and maneuver when needed rather than launching new rockets for every mission.

​At the center of the company’s vision is Astraeus, a “loitering” orbital vehicle capable of storing liquid hydrogen and oxygen in space while maintaining high thrust and rapid maneuverability. By combining reusable propulsion with in-space refueling and zero-boil-off cryogenic storage, Orbital Operations aims to create a permanent transportation layer in orbit, moving payloads between LEO, GEO, and beyond while supporting satellite protection, inspection, and deep-space missions.
