The Orbot™ Platform
Autonomous orbital robots built for inspection, logistics, and space domain awareness. Modular by design, intelligent by default.
Modular. Autonomous. Mission-Ready.
A spacecraft architecture designed for the full spectrum of in-space operations.
The Orbot™ is Rogue Space Systems' autonomous orbital robot — a modular spacecraft platform engineered for close-proximity operations in the most demanding orbital environments. Starting from CubeSat-class form factors and scaling to ESPA-class, the Orbot™ architecture adapts to any mission profile.
Every Orbot™ integrates AI-enabled onboard processing, multi-spectral imaging, autonomous proximity operations capability, and extensible payload bays. The result is a spacecraft that can inspect, host payloads, transport, and deliver compute — all without ground-in-the-loop control.
- CubeSat-class to ESPA-class scalable form factor
- AI-enabled Scalable Compute Platform (SCP) — up to 248 TOPS
- Multi-spectral imaging (visible, IR, LIDAR)
- Autonomous proximity operations & 6DOF maneuvering
- Extensible payload bays with standardized interfaces
The Fleet
From first flight to full-scale operations — our vehicles are built on proven heritage.
Orbital Test Platforms
The OTP program is a systematic build-test-fly campaign — from Barry-1 (3U CubeSat, SSO, 2023) through OTP-2 and OTP-2B to Orbot-1 & Orbot-2 (ESPA-class, twin RPO/D demonstrators). Each mission validates and de-risks the next, building flight heritage for the full Orbot™ platform.

Orbot™ Gen-2
The next-generation autonomous orbital robot. ESPA-class with full 6DOF maneuvering, multi-spectral sensing (visible, IR, LIDAR), robotic grappling arm, refueling port, and pluggable payload containerization. Built for docking, inspection, payload hosting, logistics, and space domain awareness — with a roadmap toward ISAM and life extension.

OrBlock™
The modular cargo container for in-space logistics. OrBlock™ is a standardized building block that enables reconfigurable mission kits, scalable power systems, and in-space assembly of larger structures. Combined with the Waypoint™ depot, OrBlock™ forms the backbone of the orbital supply chain.
Explore Logistics →Key Technologies
Core technologies that enable autonomous in-space operations.
Autonomous Navigation
AI-driven guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) for autonomous rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking — no ground-in-the-loop required.
Multi-Spectral Imaging
Visual and infrared inspection sensors for satellite health diagnostics, anomaly detection, and space object characterization across multiple spectral bands.
Modular Architecture
Extensible payload bays and standardized interfaces allow rapid reconfiguration for any mission profile — from inspection to logistics to cargo delivery.
Space Domain Awareness
Real-time orbital monitoring and space situational awareness using onboard sensors and AI classification — persistent, maneuverable observation from orbit.
On-Board AI Processing
The Scalable Compute Platform (SCP) delivers up to 248 TOPS of edge computing in orbit — real-time inference, sensor fusion, and autonomous decision-making.
Docking to Enable ISAM
Robotic grappling arm, standardized refueling port, and mechanical exchange (MEX) interfaces — enabling future in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) operations.
Mission Operations
Purpose-built tools that keep the Orbot™ fleet flying.
RogueOps
Integrated mission operations platform for satellite pass planning, ground-station booking, telemetry processing, and conjunction analysis.
- Centralizes passes (ROSS and SatNOGS), telemetry parsing (raw .tlm and OpenC3 packet logs), and conjunction events
- Conjunction analysis pulling CDMs from SatCat/Kayhan — evaluates collision probability, miss distance, and alerts mission ops
- Connects to OpenC3 COSMOS for scripting, timelines, and automation to support remote flight operations
- Roadmap: COLA for maneuver planning and execution, flight dynamics (OrViz integration)
ORBIT
Operational Resource Budget & Itinerary Tool
Lightweight mission management with timeline-based scheduling and power simulation for operations teams.
- Integrates with PyRogue for OTP-2 power modeling and eclipse/daylight visualization
- Schedule versioning, bulk operations, and conflict detection
- Timeline-based scheduling with power budget tracking across mission phases
Waypoint™ Persistent Platform
The logistics hub that anchors the Rogue orbital network.
Waypoint™ is an orbital depot designed for fuel storage, cargo staging, and fleet coordination. It serves as the central node in Rogue's in-space logistics network — enabling extended-duration operations, multi-mission campaigns, and on-orbit resupply without returning to Earth.
Combined with the OrBlock™ modular architecture and autonomous Orbot™ fleet, Waypoint™ completes the three-pillar infrastructure required for a sustained orbital economy. Orbot™s deliver cargo between Waypoint™ and client satellites, OrBlock™s provide standardized containers for any payload type, and Waypoint™ anchors it all. Waypoint™ also serves as a materials depot, staging propellant and supplies for refueling and resupply operations.
