Launchers deploy small satellites at the base orbital points generally accepted for all cluster members with associated payloads ranking lower in priority;
Our space tugs would reliably and cost-efficiently enhance the individual and cluster orbital placement capabilities of the compatible launchers, both existing and nearing their flight testing (incl. several European projects), while
- applied as the LVs’ kick-stages
- precisely placing small satellites into customer-determined orbits (altitude, inclination)
- meeting the space debris mitigation requirements: ECA (ISO 24113:2010) and NASA (2009, NPR 8715.6A) while programmed to safely maneuver to the mission orbits
