Exolaunch, the leading rideshare services provider for the NewSpace industry and trendsetter in deployment solutions, today introduced its space tug program, featuring a new line of orbital transfer vehicles (OTVs) that will launch satellites to custom orbits in an environmentally responsible way. The company’s space tug testing and flight qualification will begin in 2022 on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rideshare missions.
With over 140 satellites deployed to date across different launch vehicles, Exolaunch can develop solutions tailored towards meeting customer needs and addressing market trends.
Named Reliant, Exolaunch will offer one of the most robust OTV platform on the market for performance, payload, capacity, and flexibility in executing orbital maneuvers.
Exolaunch’s tug is powered by an innovative green propulsion system, which also provides a high thrust-to-weight ratio and meets the highest standards for environmental safety. Its design also leverages additive technologies using lightweight carbon fiber composites and 3D printing, resulting in low mass and high cost-efficiency.
