OrbitAID Aerospace

OrbitAID Aerospace is an Indian space technology startup founded in 2021 and headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, developing in-orbit refueling technology to extend satellite operational lifetimes and advance space sustainability. The company's patented Standard Interface for Docking and Refueling (SIDRP) optimizes the docking and fuel transfer process, making satellite refueling accessible and reliable for spacecraft in any orbit. OrbitAID's roadmap includes the development of tanker satellites capable of providing on-demand propellant delivery, enabling satellite operators to extend missions beyond their design lifetimes and reducing overall mission costs. The company raised $2.04 million across two rounds, with a $1.5 million pre-seed investment led by Unicorn India Ventures and supported by the Tamil Nadu Startup and Innovation Mission (TANSIM).
