About D-Orbit

D-Orbit S.p.A. was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Fino Mornasco (Como province), Italy, with offices in the US, UK and Portugal. D-Orbit pioneers in-space logistics and transportation through its ION Satellite Carrier (Orbital Transfer Vehicle) — a propulsive deployer that releases hosted CubeSats and microsatellites at precisely-tuned orbital phases and altitudes after rideshare insertion. ION also hosts third-party payloads for in-orbit demonstration, edge-computing (NebulaCompute) and de-orbit services. As of 2025 D-Orbit has flown 18+ ION missions, deployed 150+ satellites and integrated payloads on Falcon 9 Transporter, Vega C and Soyuz.
