Problem
Microsatellite operators face limited launch windows, high costs, and dependence on ground‑based launch infrastructure, which often leads to schedule delays or missed opportunities to place payloads into specific orbits.
Solution
Orbit Boy offers an on‑demand air‑launch service that transports a mobile launch platform to a local airport, integrates the customer's microsatellite payload, and conducts a launch within 24 hours. By using a rocket based on proven space‑flight technology combined with modern aviation and payload deployment systems, the service can reach any orbital inclination, providing precise placement of satellites. The mobile “spaceport” eliminates the need for fixed ground facilities, reducing both launch lead time and cost while giving customers direct control over scheduling and orbit selection. Dedicated customer service and a streamlined process, including an app for launch management, ensure a responsive and hassle‑free experience.
Target Audience
Primary customers are microsatellite manufacturers, commercial operators, and government agencies that require rapid, flexible access to specific orbits for communications, remote sensing, or security missions.
