Rogue Space Systems offers cutting-edge payload hosting services that provide satellite operators with the opportunity to accommodate their payloads on shared space platforms, significantly optimizing the cost and complexity associated with dedicated satellite missions.
Rogue Space Systems Corporation, a developer of in-space services, will have a new hosted payload demonstration with RocketStar, Inc. that has the potential to greatly change space propulsion. This hosting is set to launch RocketStar’s innovative water-based propulsion system into orbit aboard the next-generation Rogue Orbot™.
“This will be the second propulsion payload hosting program to be executed by Rogue and additionally benefits the company by giving Rogue valuable insight to today’s cutting edge propulsion systems, a key driver in Rogue’s business model of RPOD.” said Brent Abbott, CRO of Rogue Space Systems.
RocketStar’s propulsion system uses water, an abundant and environmentally friendly propellant that can be sourced in space from asteroids, moons, or other planetary bodies, reducing the need for carrying toxic fuel loads from Earth. This sustainable approach not only diminishes the environmental impact but also has the potential to drastically cut mission costs and extend the operational life of spacecraft.
The upcoming mission will leverage the versatility and advanced capabilities of Rogue Space Systems’ Orbot™ platform. The Orbot™ is a state-of-the-art spacecraft designed for a variety of in-space services and is now testing RocketStar’s innovative propulsion systems.
“Our contract with RocketStar is a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of space technology,” said Jeromy Grimmett, CEO of Rogue Space Systems. “The integration of their water-based propulsion system with our Orbot™ platform could set a new standard for sustainable and efficient in-space services.”
“The program between Rogue Space Systems and RocketStar highlights the importance of strategic innovation in the new space economy, and we’re thrilled to be working with Rogue to bring our new propulsion to orbit”, said Christopher Craddock, Founder and CEO of RocketStar. “This is another wonderful opportunity for us to prove the full potential of our propulsion system.”
