What We Do

Every Stage of Your Mission

You're stretched across work that needs an engineer you couldn't hire in time. That gap shows up as a failed review, a slipped launch or a spacecraft that won't point. We fill that seat so your spacecraft reaches orbit working.

Select any part of the mission to see how we help.

End-to-end imaging satellite mission architectureA ground station with a four-element X-band monopulse tracking array radiates computed sum and difference antenna patterns to a 3U CubeSat in low Earth orbit. The CubeSat radiates an X-band downlink pattern back to the ground and images the Earth through a sensor cone. A two-stage launch vehicle climbs an ascent trajectory to orbit above a photographic Earth limb.

"I've sat in design reviews that were short on engineers. Good missions shouldn't fail for want of an experienced engineer. That's why I started OrbitLink."
