GS-1 Spacecraft

Multiple hosted payloads destined for GEO orbit.

Multiple payloads including Earth observation, scientific experiments and bring-into-use (BIU) services at Ku, Ka and V/Q frequency bands.

Demonstrating Infinite Orbits advanced autonomous vision-based navigation software, a major step toward our GEO life-extension mission.

Utilizing the ENPULSION NANO AR³ thruster – which is the first ENPULSION thruster with vectoring capabilities to be used in GEO. 

Orbit Guard #1 has finally embarked on its trajectory shift! Currently drifting under the GEO arch since November 16th, 2023, toward its first mission-dedicated orbital slot, the servicer should commence its first in-orbit services mission by December 10th.

Latest Update: As of November 20, 2023, at 10:00:00 UTC, Orbit Guard #1 proudly reports a semi-major axis of 42,026 kilometers and a longitude of 124.4 degrees—testaments to its unwavering advancement toward its mission objectives.

Celebrating its 1-year anniversary since launched by SpaceX's Falcon Heavy on May 1st, 2023. This past year, Orbit Guard #1 successfully fulfilled all its tech demonstration and commercial missions and has paved the way for our future projects. In numbers :

• 4 years in design and manufacturing
• 365 days in orbit
• 1146km electric orbit raising
• 2 slots station kept
• 125 degrees travelled across the GEO belt
• 1st in-orbit tests of our rendezvous solution
• 1st commercial CubeSat in GEO orbit.

Initially marked this as from Ukraine, which was probably a mistake and unsure where it got started, maybe on Satsearch in 2020.

Liftoff was May 1, 2023 on 00:26 UTC.
