Orbit Fab
Offers a supply of satellite propellant in Earth Orbit that expands the operational potential of new and existing space assets
About Orbit Fab
Orbit Fab is a company operating in the space infrastructure sector, specifically focused on providing in-orbit refueling services for satellites. The company's business model revolves around establishing a supply chain of propellant in space, effectively creating "gas stations in orbit." This is achieved by building and launching fuel depots and managing the logistics of a propellant supply chain using reusable fuel shuttles.
Read full description
The primary clients for Orbit Fab are commercial and government satellite operators, including the U.S. Space Force, with whom they have a contract to deliver fuel to satellites starting in 2025. The service is designed to extend the operational lifetime of spacecraft, which are traditionally limited by the amount of fuel they can carry at launch. By offering refueling, Orbit Fab allows satellite operators to maximize the utility and lifespan of their assets.
The company generates revenue by selling propellant to its clients. For instance, they have a listed price of $20 million for 100kg of hydrazine in Geostationary Orbit (GEO). This model addresses a critical limitation in the space industry, enabling new operational possibilities for existing and future space assets, and supporting emerging industries like space manufacturing and tourism.
