Great chat with Brett at Initialized Capital about the future of space mobility. Giving spacecraft the freedom to maneuver in orbit will reshape how we defend, operate, and build in space. 💪🚀 At Orbital Operations , we’re building high-thrust cryogenic vehicles to make it real.

“We’re designing to MOVE out in orbit.” That comes with challenges—from communication delays to solar panels that can handle high thrust seen more in rockets than satellites. Orbital Operations cofounder & CEO Ben Schleuniger joins brett gibson on High Bit to discuss how they’re

Seed → Igniter hotfire in 2.5 months 🔥 Seed → Cryo tank test in 4 months ❄️ Seed → Full chamber hotfire in 6 months 🚀 From closing our seed round to hot-firing our full thrust chamber on a mobile test stand, it’s been a steep and exciting climb. Big updates coming from

When they talk about keeping the talent density high, they mean a team like this. 📈 Between Ross Doherty, Nico Montoya, Sam Nackman, Hunter Doan, and Paul Guyett, there is not much I am nervous about conquering with the development of our Astraeus vehicle.🚀

I really think that high power microwaves or lasers mounted to highly maneuverable stages in orbit is going to play a major role in a contested space environment. popularmechanics.com/military/weapo…

It was a pleasure talking with alex 🏴‍☠️🇺🇸🇺🇦 on This Week in Startups! 🎙️🚀 The high-thrust vehicle we are developing at Orbital Operations uses cryogenic propellants, can remain stationed in orbit, and is built for military and logistics missions. Learn more at: orbitalops.tech

LETS GO NEW GLENN!!!! CONGRADULATIONS Blue Origin !!!

5 weeks is a long time to lose a satellite after launch. This could have passed GPS, missile-tracking, and other critical national assets. Orbital Operations is building the ability to respond in orbit within hours exactly for this reason. payloadspace.com/slingshot-spot…

Today’s Executive Order on Ensuring American Space Superiority makes the priority clear. Space is a contested operational domain, and speed, resilience, and maneuver matter. At Orbital Operations , this is exactly what we are building toward. Space superiority requires rapid maneuver,

We were confident in the engineering. Validating the need mattered just as much. Turning cryogenic propulsion in orbit into a real, operational capability has been one of the most rewarding challenges of my career. Appreciate Initialized Capital for the conversation.

Rocket trailer giddy-ups are my new favorite thing.🏇 Great to be back into testing this week. This engine will power the Orbital Operations Astraeus vehicle, built to store and use LH2/LOX for high-thrust, high-efficiency maneuvering while staying on orbit for years at a time.

Design. Manufacture. Test. Iterate. Full-scale cryogenic tank alongside our manufacturing and test pathfinder. Fast to design. Hard to manufacture at speed and scale. Large-scale testing of our flight-like cryogenic management system coming soon. This enables Orbital Operations

“We used to say there are emerging threats. I don’t say that anymore. There are threats in orbit.” - General B. Chance Saltzman Grappling arms, nesting satellites, directed energy, and on-orbit interference are no longer theoretical. Space is a contested domain. Defense now

This is wild. I knew China had their own version of a military space plane, but seeing on-orbit imagery makes it real in a different way. Orbital Operations needs to get up there ASAP.

Space superiority = maneuverability. “Project power in, from, and to space.” — Lt. Gen. Gagnon Protect & defend isn’t enough. Mobility is the new deterrence. That’s what we’re building at Orbital Operations twz.com/space/chinas-g…

It makes sense. The high ground is orbital.🛰️ In a real conflict, that is the first domain contested. payloadspace.com/space-was-firs…

Desert test site build out going strong. 🚀 Looking forward to putting rocket engines through their paces out here. Orbital Operations
