Problem
Many geostationary (GEO) satellites experience propulsion issues or fuel depletion, leading to shortened lifespans and significant revenue loss for operators. Replacing these large satellites is expensive, and premature decommissioning reduces the return on investment from valuable space assets.
Solution
Aule Space develops standardized docking and refueling interfaces for GEO satellites, enabling on-orbit servicing capabilities such as life extension, relocation, and collision avoidance. Their technology allows a servicer satellite to dock with existing spacecraft, replenish fuel, and provide extended operational life. This on-demand service helps satellite operators maximize revenue from their assets by mitigating fuel depletion and propulsion-related issues. Aule Space's solution facilitates novel space system architectures and unlocks new capabilities in the NewSpace economy.
Target Audience
Aule Space targets GEO satellite operators seeking to extend the lifespan and maximize the revenue potential of their existing space assets.
Features
- Standardized docking interface compatible with a range of GEO satellite platforms
- Refueling module capable of transferring propellant to extend satellite lifespan
- On-orbit servicer deployment for on-demand life extension and relocation services
- Collision avoidance and debris maneuvering capabilities
