Orbit Fab is a company founded in 2018 that aims to eliminate the single-use spacecraft paradigm by providing in-space refueling services. They have resupplied water to the ISS and launched the first commercial fuel depot into LEO. Their RAFTI refueling interface has become the industry-standard, and they have signed the first commercial and U.S. Government fuel delivery services deals. Orbit Fab believes in building a sustainable space ecosystem that benefits humanity and supports a thriving in-space economy.

Orbit Fab

Orbit Fab envisions a thriving in-space market for products and services that support both existing space businesses (communications and Earth observation) and new industries like space tourism, manufacturing, and mining. The first step is achieving ubiquitous availability of satellite propellant in Earth orbit, expanding the operational potential of new and existing space assets and providing unprecedented business model flexibility for satellite owners. The future for satellites is no longer restricted to the fuel they are launched with. It is about getting the fuel and other materials they need, where and when they need it, to accomplish things never before thought possible.

Thank you to the Veterans and all that have served!  This Veterans Day we honor the soldiers who ask "how can I make the world a better place." 

Exciting times ahead! 
Orbit Fab is thrilled by the pioneering steps taken by the UK Space Agency (@UKSA) in committing £2 million towards research for in-orbit refuelling capabilities, a bold move that underlines the critical nature of sustainable space operations.  As our reliance on satellite technology continues to grow, the importance of maintaining a clean and safe space environment cannot be overstated. From GPS navigation to climate monitoring, our daily lives are intertwined with services provided from above the Earth’s atmosphere. This forward-thinking approach aligns perfectly with Orbit Fab’s mission to create Gas Stations in Space™ refueling services. 
The commitment from the UKSA to develop these capabilities signals a transformative period where sustainable satellite operations can flourish, thanks to in-orbit refuelling and maintenance.

As we aim to support and participate in this visionary project, we invite partners, innovators, and visionaries to join us in this orbit-changing venture. Together, let's fuel the sustainable future of space operations! #SpaceSustainability #OrbitFab #RefuellingMission #UKSpaceAgency #SpaceDebris #SatelliteRefuelling #InOrbitService #SpaceEconomy #FutureOfSpace
