Orbital Fuel Station

OrbitAID Aerospace is at the forefront of a transformative era in space exploration, leading the charge with the establishment of a groundbreaking Fuel Station in Space. With a strategic focus on on-orbit refueling, OrbitAID is actively forging ahead to create a network of refueling stations, fundamentally altering the landscape of satellite servicing and accessibility beyond Earth's confines.

Central to this visionary initiative is the democratization of space access, epitomized by our patented Standard Interface for Docking and Refueling (SIDRP). This innovative interface optimizes docking and fuel transfer processes, elevating the accessibility and reliability of satellite refueling operations to unprecedented levels.

In a significant milestone, OrbitAID has secured a substantial pre-seed funding of $540k, generously facilitated by the Government of Tamil Nadu and StartupTN-TANSIM, reaffirming our steadfast commitment to driving forward space innovation. Furthermore, our collaboration with esteemed institutions such as the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) under the MSME grant has contributed significantly to our developmental journey.

Additionally, OrbitAID is honored to be incubated as a portfolio company of Startburst Aerospace, a renowned global space accelerator program. This partnership has provided invaluable expertise and resources, propelling our endeavors to new heights of success.

As we embark on this extraordinary journey, we invite you to join us in celebrating OrbitAID's visionary strides in space exploration. Our recognition among the "20 space startups to look for in 2024" by Startus Insights underscores our global impact and trailblazing spirit.
