About OTP-3
OTP-3 is Rogue's third standardized hosted payload mission, ideal for teams that need a fast, turnkey path to flight heritage and in-orbit validation. Built on a lean, cost-efficient 16U platform, OTP-3 combines hosted hardware and software payload capacity, standard interfaces, and end-to-end mission execution — so customers can move from payload readiness to orbit without buying and operating a dedicated spacecraft.
Rogue specializes in supporting end-to-end missions that bring customer payloads from concept to orbit with speed, accuracy, and reliability. Rather than offering only a seat on a platform, Rogue delivers the licensing, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and operational design and analysis, AI&T, mission planning, launch coordination, and operations needed for a successful mission — all built around the Orbital Test Platform and a focused payload-to-space offering.
OTP-3 is scheduled for launch in late 2027 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 to sun-synchronous orbit, carrying the flight-proven Gen 2 Scalable Compute Platform and designed for a 5-year operational life. Hardware and software hosting slots are available now.
