We are slowly lurching out of “stealth mode”. There will be content here soon.
Baseline price for an ORB-16 is £160,000 (+£420,000 for launch)
It is the 16U variant of our ORB satellite family, and has full dual redundancy of subsystems as a baseline.
Included in this price: the platform, engineering support with payload integration, flight-acceptance testing of the fully integrated satellite, and storage before shipment to the launch provider. Launch can be managed by OrbAstro and provided through a 3rd-party partner; price displayed is indicative of standard LEO/SSO orbit.
