Startup NASA Feature Series: Orbotic Systems
About the Event

Join us for the next Startup NASA Series virtual event on March 1, 2023 at 2:00 PM ET and discover how Orbotic Systems is revolutionizing space technology. As an early-stage company, Orbotic Systems has licensed technology from NASA and is working to bring it to the market. The company was created with the goal of addressing the growing threat of space debris.

During the virtual event, company representatives will present on their first product, the D3 device, which allows SmallSat operators to inexpensively maneuver, orientate, and deorbit their spacecraft in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) without any explosive propellant. This groundbreaking solution was developed after investigating business and technical perspectives, with the goal of safely advancing human progress in space.

Hear how they got involved with NASA and where they're at in their current development stage. There will be a Q&A session where you can ask questions and engage with the presenters. Don't miss this chance to gain insights into the future of space technology and its potential for commercialization, register now!
