Orbit Fab

Orbit Fab is a provider of on-orbit refuelling services and propellant supply chain infrastructure. The company occupies a specific niche in the satellite servicing sector, aiming to transition the space industry from single-use assets to a reusable model by establishing a network of fuel tankers and delivery shuttles in various orbits. Their primary focus is the standardisation of refuelling interfaces to ensure compatibility across different satellite platforms. Their portfolio includes the development of the Rapidly Attachable Fluid Transfer Interface (RAFTI), which has been integrated into several government and commercial satellite programmes. Key partners and customers include the United States Space Force, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and various commercial satellite manufacturers. The organisation actively participates in missions aimed at demonstrating autonomous docking and fluid transfer for both chemical and electric propulsion systems. Prospective partners should verify the specific technical compatibility of their spacecraft with current refuelling standards and the availability of propellant types in their intended orbit. It is essential to confirm the flight heritage of specific hardware components and the regulatory approvals required for proximity operations. Buyers should also assess the integration requirements for docking hardware during the satellite design phase.
