Business Leaders for Michigan featured #Orbion as a case study for the Mackinac Policy Conference last week. We couldn't have said it better ourselves ;) shm.to/1LIUZaz #economicdevelopment #spacenerds #smallsats #mpc25

#MichiganTech’s Summer Youth Programs spark the next generation of engineers and problem-solvers. At #Orbion, we’re proud to support SYP— because building the #STEM pipeline starts early. A huge thanks to Margaret for volunteering her time to help light that spark.

After a day building thrusters, our team trades rockets for rudders and cruises home by boat — because when your rocket factory is just steps from the water, work-life balance isn’t a perk, it’s the lifestyle. #WorkLifeBalance #Orbion #LifeInTheKeweenaw

Some companies bring business cards – we bring #satellite thrusters. Because handshakes are great, but delta-v is better. Let’s talk #space, #propulsion, and why the future moves with positive ions. Find us at #SmallSat – or just look up.

Our soundtrack had more drop than a LEO re-entry, and our thrusters? Major bling. Thanks to #SmallSat and to everyone who stopped by to talk #ElectricPropulsion this week. If you missed us, message us: orbionspace.com/contact-us/

Day one brought the dirt, the tunes, and the vibes. Minimal blood, maximum stoke. Big shout-out to our own Kurt Terhune for grabbing the mic and kicking things off. We’ll do it all again today — see you out there! #CopperHarborTrailsFest #CommunityPowered #Orbion #PureMichigan

Behind every engine that leaves our factory are the hands and faces of the people who build, test, and ship it. From clean room to vacuum chamber, from test cell to shipping crate. #OrbionSpace #PropulsionPerfected #ElectricPropulsion #SmallSat #Orbion

Michigan has always been a place where people build things — from iron and copper to code and spacecraft. Thanks to the MEDC for hosting this panel discussion. #OrbionSpace #PropulsionPerfected #SmallSat #MEDC #FastCompany shm.to/Nw8YQew
