Orbital Test Platform Fleet
From proof-of-concept CubeSat to full-scale autonomous Orbot™ — each mission advances the technology stack that powers payload hosting, in-space compute, inspection, and space domain awareness.
Rogue Space Systems' Orbital Test Platform (OTP) program is a systematic build-test-fly campaign that evolves spacecraft capability with every mission. The program began in November 2023 with Barry-1, a 3U CubeSat that validated the first-generation Scalable Compute Platform and wide-field optical sensors in low Earth orbit.
OTP-2 is currently active in SSO, flying second-generation edge compute and hosting customer software payloads on orbit. The upcoming OTP-2B mission will deploy a Gen 3 SCP micro data center with 248 TOPS of AI compute and Ka-band uplink/downlink, designed for a 5-year operational life.
NET Q4 2027, Orbot-1 & Orbot-2 will demonstrate rendezvous, proximity operations, and autonomous docking with twin ESPA-class spacecraft — the final proving ground before Orbot-3, the first full-scale production Orbot™ with grappling arm, refueling port, and pluggable payload containerization. Each mission in the OTP series de-risks the next, building flight heritage that commercial and government customers can rely on. Payload hosting is available on active and upcoming missions.
