SubsidieMeestersIn-Orbit Services to Satellites Operators
Infinite Orbits aims to extend the lifespan of geostationary satellites through repair and maintenance services, with a full-service demonstrator expected by early 2025.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Infinite Orbits is shaping the new market for space infrastructures by providing services to repair, maintain, or protect spacecraft in orbit. The immediate commercial application of such services is to maintain and extend the lifetime of satellites, particularly geostationary ones given their value.
Project Overview
“Endurance” is a life extension service satellite designed to perform rendezvous and docking operations for end-of-life geostationary telecommunications satellites.
Development Timeline
- A baseline study has been completed for the identified cases.
- A firm order for the preliminary design project is expected before the end of 2021.
- The first minimum viable product of our service (OrbitGuard, without docking capacity) is expected to achieve commercial flight in orbit by December 2022.
- The demonstrator of our full service for life extension is expected in early 2025 in the ENDURANCE project.
