Otter Pup died on orbit while spinning. Twice! But now it's not only alive, it's no longer rotating! This is the first time we've done something really hard in space. Still a lot to go for the Otter Pup mission, but we get a chance to make it happen!

When we started our fifth anniversary celebration, we promised to reveal the fourth technology we’ve developed to enable Otter missions. Today, we’re unveiling Manta! Manta is an articulating boom that Otter uses for precision thrusting while docked with a client satellite.

This fall Starfish Space Otter Pup 2 Mission will attempt docking with another satellite. This opens up the future of RPOD-centric space activity like life extension, satellite disposal, and more. We'll share more as we go! spacenews.com/starfish-space…

Solving problems (satellite docking) with software instead of hardware makes us commercially viable. Also helps us move faster and be more flexible.
