Cosa fa Orbital Operations

Orbital Operations is developing a high thrust, reusable space vehicle for satellite defense. We protect critical satellites, like GPS and Military communication satellites, from adversarial threats, like China and Russia. Our vehicle will use the exact same propulsion systems that launch vehicles have used for decades by implementing a cryogenic management system. This will give us over 100x the thrust or current in-space propulsion. Ross and I have over 15 years of combined aerospace experience across NASA, Aerojet Rocketdyne, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Relativity Space. We’ve worked side by side for more than 3.5 years developing propulsion systems, turbomachinery, and building our own respective engineering teams. We are currently working on the first demo of our unique cryo management system and intend to launch an operational vehicle by 2027.

High Thrust Space Vehicles for Satellite Defense

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building a reusable space vehicle with high-thrust propulsion for defending satellites against threats like China and Russia. Our product leverages a cryogenic management system to use launch-grade engines in space, giving over 100 times the thrust of current in-space propulsion methods.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Los Angeles, CA, and will base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles gives us access to aerospace talent and facilities needed to develop our propulsion and cryo systems effectively. We both live here and have built teams locally.
