frictionless partnership
We have a process that works. Let us help.
Orbion co-engineers with your team to turn your requirements and constraints into a tailored solution. You can stay focused on your payload, mission, and business. Propulsion should add Delta-V, not slow you down.
This is the frictionless differentiator.
Orbion builds for customers who can’t afford a bad propulsion system.
You’ve heard “bolt-on” before. You’ve heard “flight-ready.” You’ve heard “full support.” When these claims don’t come true the cost can greatly exceed the budget. Orbion’s differentiator isn’t the claim — it’s what happens when you hold us to it.
Got a weird keep-in volume? Tight electrical constraints? Something else you’re hoping will magically sort itself out later? Talk to us now. We’ve probably seen it before, and early conversations are considerably cheaper than redesigns.
Co-Engineering
Designed around your spacecraft — from day one
We have designed systems to fit in the cavity of an already-built spacecraft, so if you’re in that position don’t be afraid to call (we don’t judge), but Orbion prefers to engage with you at the design stage. It’s never too early.
Seamless Delivery
Flight-ready means flight-ready
Bring your power system to our facility and verify the interface by hot firing your first unit in our vacuum chambers. Your shipments will arrive tested, documented, full of propellant, and ready to integrate. No surprises in your facility. No translation layer between “delivered” and “usable.”
On-Orbit Support
The relationship doesn’t end at separation from launch vehicle
Dedicated post-launch support means Orbion works alongside your flight operations team, monitoring telemetry and ready to respond as the mission unfolds.
We’ve done this before. We’ll do it for you.
Use our previous configurations to guide your design, or let us come up with something completely different for you.
Mission-Ready Propulsion in Four Easy Steps
Our modular design gives unparalleled mission flexibility and reliability. We don’t hand you a catalog. Your mission drives the process. We make it easy.
Technical Exchange
During the proposal phase, we’ll learn what matters about your spacecraft: available power, integration constraints, and yes, even that weird keep-in volume. That’s okay. We’ll engineer around it.
Detailed Design
Our team will design a module that meets the unique performance requirements and geometry of your spacecraft. Tank, mounting, structure, and configuration are engineered together to fit and work.
Module Engineering
We’ll perform all necessary structural and mechanical analysis to ensure compliance with your mission. We refine and validate the design for a precise, mission-ready fit.
Build, Test, & Ship
The fun part. You receive your fully fueled fully tested system, integrate it with your spacecraft, and send it on its way. And we’ll be there through integration and on-orbit operations.
So, you want to be a customer? Here’s where we start.
Begin with your mission requirements. We’ll take it from there.
Technical Exchange
Tell us about the mission. We’ll figure out what fits.
Once the NDA is in place, our engineers get into the details with yours: mission objectives, available power, performance requirements, keep-in geometry, and integration constraints. From there, we develop an initial propulsion configuration and quote built around your spacecraft—not a catalog number.
Then We Make It Official
A little paperwork. Then we build your propulsion.
Once the configuration is right, we lock in terms, quantities, and delivery schedule and get to work. Orbion handles the detailed engineering, analysis, manufacturing, testing, and fueling. The boring stuff leads to the good part: mission-ready propulsion, delivered to your door.
Satellite spotlight
We could show you a case study. We’d rather show you what’s overhead.
