FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rogue Space Systems Schedules 2026 Launch of Orbital Test Platform to Advance In-Space Compute and Space Domain Awareness
Laconia, NH, Jan. 14, 2026 – Rogue Space Systems Corporation today announced the addition of its Orbital Test Platform 2B (OTP-2B) mission to the October 2026 launch schedule. This new mission expands the company’s efforts to meet the increasing demand for edge computing, connectivity, and “neighborhood awareness” needed for the next generation systems of highly maneuverable commercial and military space activities.
With this additional launch, Rogue is accelerating the technology development on its dual RPOD capable satellite launch planned for Oct 2027, creating a third iteration and more heritage for its Spacecraft Compute Platform in combination with its SAMRIC™ technology. Additionally, Rogue is creating more opportunities for companies to accelerate their growth, this time for Mission Space and their radiation sensor as well as providing hosted software testing for commercial and government customers. These technologies represent key milestones in the development of space-based data centers, on-orbit edge compute, space domain awareness, and enhanced space traffic coordination.
Rogue’s SAMRIC™ technology addresses critical gaps in Space Domain Awareness (SDA) by delivering a robust, multi-range, distributed-sensor software solution for space-based “own-ship awareness.” Leveraging optical sensors across a variety of wavelengths, SAMRIC enhances Resident Space Object (RSO) detection, tracking, and characterization at medium-to-long distances, supporting maneuverable space vehicles in both rendezvous optimization and conjunction avoidance.
“This mission is the third on-orbit compute platform that Rogue has launched, while others are talking about data centers in space and enhanced SDA, we are executing,” said Brook Leonard, CEO, Rogue Space Systems, “We’re turning cutting-edge ideas into proven capabilities that will reshape how we go to and operate in space, and most importantly enable commercial and government organizations to iterate at the speed necessary to capture markets and dominate missions.”
