We Build
What You
Launch.
Cleanroom design, assembly, and test for 1U–12U CubeSats — from first PCB layout to deployment spring. Trusted by university labs, defense primes, and commercial constellation builders.
From 1U Ionosphere Sensor
to 12-Satellite Commercial Fleet
Every program below was delivered on-schedule, on-budget, and on-orbit. Each debrief is the unedited constraint, the engineering decision, and the outcome.
IONEX-1
NSF grant window closed in 18 months with zero margin for launch slip. The MIT team needed a partner who could absorb schedule risk without compromising test rigor.
IONEX-1 deployed on schedule from the ISS airlock. First contact achieved T+4 hours. The Langmuir probe returned 14 months of continuous ionospheric density profiles before nominal deorbit.
RAPID-DELTA
The payload was export-controlled and the RF architecture was classified. Integration required a cleared facility, cleared technicians, and a build-test documentation trail that could survive a DCSA audit.
RAPID-DELTA launched on schedule and achieved full mission objectives within the first two contact windows. The program delivered the classified data product 6 days ahead of the contracted milestone.
VERDANT-FLEET
Verdant closed their Series A with 14 months to first data product. Building 12 satellites in parallel on a startup budget meant every design decision had to be both manufacturable and flight-proven — no one-off heroics.
All 12 satellites launched across two manifests. First methane plume detection at 8 ppb sensitivity was achieved 19 days after deployment. Verdant delivered their Series B data product 3 weeks ahead of investor milestone.
Every Subsystem. In-House.
No outsourced subsystems, no single-vendor dependencies. Every board, every mechanism, every test procedure is owned and controlled by Orbit engineers.
Custom EPS boards designed in-house. MPPT-regulated solar input, battery management with cell-level telemetry, and fault-tolerant power distribution.
Reaction wheel assemblies, magnetorquer rods, and star tracker integration for sub-arcminute pointing. Proven in imaging and comms missions.
Multi-band radio stack from UHF beacons through X-band high-rate downlink. Antenna deployment systems tested to 1,000 thermal cycles. Ground station network with 3 global uplink sites.
Machined aluminum structures with CNC tolerances to ±0.05mm. CubeSat Design Specification compliant deployer interfaces across all form factors.
Radiation-tolerant OBC with watchdog recovery, triple-redundant boot sequence, and heritage across 40+ missions without a single unrecoverable failure.
Full environmental test suite in-house: thermal vacuum chamber, random vibration table, and EMI/EMC anechoic cell. ISO 7 cleanroom with controlled humidity and ESD protocols. No outsourced test dependencies.
