Problem
Satellite operators and space users must launch a new vehicle for each repositioning, inspection, or logistics task, incurring high costs and long lead times. The lack of reusable, on‑orbit transport infrastructure limits rapid response and continuous operations in low‑Earth orbit, lunar and cislunar environments.
Solution
Andromeda Space is developing a persistent in‑space transportation network composed of orbital vehicles and stationary hubs that remain on‑orbit between missions. Customers can request on‑demand moves such as satellite repositioning, slot correction, or inspection without the need to launch a dedicated spacecraft each time. The service is priced per leg, similar to traditional carrier models, shifting the infrastructure overhead to the network provider. By maintaining a fleet of reusable transport vehicles (e.g., the Perseus OTV) and permanent hubs, the network enables continuous logistics and rapid access to any orbital destination, from LEO to lunar and cislunar points.
Target Audience
Primary customers are satellite operators, defense agencies, and other space‑faring organizations that require frequent, flexible orbital logistics and maintenance services.
Features
- Reusable on‑orbit transport vehicles (e.g., Perseus OTV) with ~50 kg payload capacity and 3 km/s delta‑V capability
- Permanent orbital hubs that serve as transfer points, eliminating the need for ground‑based launch preparation for each mission
- Pay‑per‑leg pricing model that charges only for the specific segment used, reducing cost predictability for customers
- On‑demand service for satellite repositioning, slot correction, and inspection, enabling rapid response without new launches
- Scalable architecture designed to extend from low‑Earth orbit to lunar and cislunar destinations
