Description	Second GEO nanosatellite. To reach geostationary orbit, our servicer will be using an innovative solution, being transferred from LEO to GEO in an estimated time of 2 weeks with EPIC AEROSPACE‘s orbit transfer vehicle CHIMERA GEO powered with chemical propulsion. Orbit Guard #2 will be ready for its commercial missions in GEO by mid-2025, a step further in the deployment and validation of our in-orbit services key capabilities in far and near range rendezvous in GEO, in preparation for the launch of Orbit Guard #3 and Endurance #1 in 2027!
