FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Laconia, N.H. — July 17, 2026 — Rogue Space Systems today opened customer bookings for OTP-3, its next Orbital Test Platform mission, targeting launch in Q4 2027. OTP-3 gives commercial, civil, and national security teams a direct way to fly their hardware to orbit, collect real mission data, and earn flight heritage on a standardized, multi-tenant platform; turning what is normally a multi-year, multimillion-dollar spacecraft program into a single hosted-payload slot.
A Turnkey Path to Flight Heritage
OTP-3 marks Rogue’s fourth satellite system with hardware and software hosting heritage. Rogue’s turnkey hosting service covers mission planning, payload integration, licensing, launch coordination, and on-orbit operations, with predictable integration and clear mission-fit qualification defined up front. This incentivizes customers to spend their time on their payload; not the paperwork, the launch contract, or the ground segment. OTP-3 supports programs across space domain awareness, rendezvous and proximity operations, inspection, propulsion demonstration, and optical communications (OISL), preserves meaningful size, weight, and power (SWaP) for each customer, and can operate payloads alongside Rogue’s Scalable Compute Platform for on-orbit autonomy and edge processing.
Quote from CEO
“Strong technology is ready to fly today, but too many teams are stuck waiting on launch and priced out by the cost of a dedicated mission,” said Maj. Gen. Brook Leonard, USAF (Ret.), Chief Executive Officer of Rogue Space Systems. “OTP-3 is our fourth satellite system to host customer hardware and software, so buyers get the most direct path we know to real mission data and flight heritage, backed by proven experience with a process that is simple and effective.”
Reserving a Slot
