Orbital Operations

Orbital Operations is a US space defence company developing the Astraeus high-thrust orbital vehicle — designed to provide intercept, defence, and repositioning capabilities in orbit — using liquid hydrogen propulsion technology to deliver high delta-v capabilities enabling spacecraft to manoeuvre rapidly from LEO to cislunar orbits within hours, serving US national security space mission requirements for responsive, agile orbital vehicles that can respond to on-orbit threats without the long transit times of conventional electric or chemical propulsion systems. The company targets US government and defence customers requiring orbital vehicles that can quickly reposition, inspect, or intercept objects across multiple orbital regimes, addressing the growing need for space domain awareness and space control capabilities as geostrategic competition in orbit intensifies. Orbital Operations provides a dedicated space defence vehicle platform with advanced payload hosting, active thermal management, and the high delta-v performance required for responsive, manoeuvrable national security space missions.
