One Platform.
Multiple Ways to Use Orbit.
Orbit Keeper 01 combines shared spacecraft infrastructure with hosted payloads, dedicated orbital computing, and Graviron-operated capabilities, giving customers multiple ways to access and use space.
Hosted Payload
Fly compatible instruments, sensors, and other hardware aboard Orbit Keeper 01 without developing an entire satellite. Graviron's planned platform will provide the spacecraft infrastructure needed to support hosted payload missions.
Orbital Compute
Graviron is developing orbital computing capabilities designed to bring computing workloads into space aboard Orbit Keeper 01. Our goal is to provide access to space-based computing infrastructure without requiring customers to build and operate their own spacecraft.
Industry Collaborators
A Spacecraft.
Not Just a Payload Host.
Orbit Keeper 01 is being developed around the core spacecraft systems required to support payloads and computing infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit.
Payload Interfaces
Designed to accommodate compatible customer payloads and onboard mission hardware through defined mechanical and electrical interfaces.
Power & Thermal Management
Power-generation, energy-storage, and thermal-control subsystems designed to support the spacecraft and its hosted equipment.
Propulsion & Attitude Control
Systems intended to manage spacecraft orientation and support the orbital maneuvers required by the mission design.
Avionics, Communications & Data
Onboard computing, flight electronics, command and telemetry links, and data-handling systems for spacecraft and payload operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often from customers, partners, investors, and potential future team members.
What is Graviron Aerospace?
Graviron Aerospace is a space logistics company building a fleet of standardized Orbit Keeper satellites to provide hosted payload and orbital computing services in Low Earth Orbit.
What is Orbit Keeper 01?
Orbit Keeper 01 is Graviron’s first spacecraft. Its Vector configuration is being developed to host customer payloads and support orbital computing in Low Earth Orbit. The first commercial mission is targeted for Q2 2028.
What services is Graviron developing?
Our current focus is on two services: Hosted Payload and Orbital Compute. Hosted Payload gives customers a way to fly compatible hardware aboard our spacecraft. Orbital Compute is focused on making computing capabilities available in orbit, opening up possibilities for workloads that can benefit from space-based computing infrastructure.
Why would computing take place in space?
Computing infrastructure does not have to remain on Earth. As space-based applications and demand for computing continue to evolve, orbital computing could support workloads that benefit from operating in space, including applications for future space infrastructure and other computing-intensive missions. Graviron is developing this capability as part of its broader vision for commercial orbital services.
How can customers access space without building their own satellite?
Through hosted payload services, customers can fly compatible instruments, experiments, or other hardware aboard a spacecraft operated by Graviron. Instead of developing an entire satellite bus, customers can focus on their payload and its mission while Graviron develops the supporting orbital platform.
When will Orbit Keeper 01 launch?
Graviron is targeting Q2 2028 for the first commercial Orbit Keeper 01 mission. The mission is intended to carry commercial customer payloads alongside paid onboard orbital-computing capability.
What is Graviron working toward after its first mission?
Beginning in late 2028, Graviron plans to use experience gained from operating in orbit to guide further spacecraft development and fleet expansion.
Is Orbit Keeper 01 a reusable orbital drone?
No. Orbit Keeper 01 Vector is not designed as a reusable orbital drone. It is being developed for its initial commercial mission, with a target operational lifetime of three to five years in Low Earth Orbit. Reusable orbital vehicles belong to Graviron’s longer-term development vision.
Does Graviron plan to expand beyond Low Earth Orbit?
Yes. Our long-term vision includes developing orbital infrastructure that could support lunar communications and deep-space networking. These ambitions extend beyond our initial spacecraft and services, and represent future directions for the company.
Who can work with Graviron?
We welcome discussions with commercial space companies, technology developers, research organizations, and other potential customers or partners interested in hosted payloads, orbital computing, and future space infrastructure. Contact us to discuss your mission or collaboration requirements.
