In-Space Logistics For Everyone!

Rogue Space Systems wants to democratize space and make the space economy flourish!  Right now, the space economy is dominated by exquisite and expensive earth communications satellites and earth observation satellites that are designed to operate for 5 or 10 years and then are left to die, without support or connection.  While we honor this economic model that has brought us modern communications and better crop yields, we are concerned that it is unsustainable, and has severe economic limitations!  Space is only accessible to only the most highly funded companies that are willing to become space experts, and not to startups, mid-sized companies, and individual entrepreneurs who want to concentrate on their world-changing innovations, and not have to become “space experts”.  Rogue wants to change that!

Rogue sees a vision of the very near future, where every entrepreneur with a good idea related to something that can be built or done in space has their chance at bat! Rogue offers the economic logistics and space expertise to make that happen!  We can host your new gadget, or your whole production line as a service, and keep it running for you, while you focus on your innovations that will improve the world, and then the solar system and beyond!

Rogue’s Logistics Infrastructure is centered around its Waypoint^TM Uncrewed Persistent Platforms and its Orblock^TM “busless” payload containers. Much like the modern industrial park has brought infrastructural support such as power, co-location with suppliers, and convenient shipping to modern industry, our Waypoint platforms do the same in space. Our Orblock containers serve much like the modern shipping containers in cargo ships, providing a paradigm-shifting level of economy to transporting payloads in space using these low-cost and reusable containers. Gone are the days where a multi-million-dollar satellite bus, and several years of “wooden shoe” development are required to transport a payload! We can do it cheaper and faster!

How do these “smart shipping containers” travers from one destination in space to another? We’re glad you asked! This is where our Extensible Orbot^TM platform comes in! The highly extensive design provides a base “chassis” on which numerous payload modules can be carried. Some variants of our Orbots will have multiple robot arms and diverse end effectors to both carry and load or unload your cargo. Others can simply tow the Orblock to its berthing port on its assigned Waypoint platform, and plug it in.

Rogue’s Waypoint Platforms will serve as the “Industrial Parks” in space, where power, temperature regulation, secure communications, computing power and data storage are all provided to your operation. Multiple In-space manufacturing lines can be hosted on each Waypoint platform, and the platforms themselves will be arranged in an orbital “hub and spoke” model, extending the reach of the logistics chain to wherever it is needed. Up-and-coming reusable 2nd-stage “upmass” and “downmass” vehicles, provided by our partners, can be loaded and unloaded with ease by our Orbot workforce. Your production line will have 24×7 support by Autonomous- and Semi-Autonomous Orbot worker drones. Your lines will rarely ever have to stop, and your microchips, life-saving drugs, human organs, or an infinite number of other mind-bending new materials will be able to economically come to market for use on earth, in space, or in future human-habited locations!
