Orbital Robotics

Orbital Robotics develops autonomous robotic systems for in-space servicing, spacecraft capture, and orbital logistics. Based in Seattle, the company focuses on enabling more capable space operations through robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomy. Its robotic arms are designed to rendezvous with, capture, and service spacecraft in orbit, including unprepared targets.

The ORA product family includes the ORA-Astrosfera, a seven-degree-of-freedom flight arm described as radiation-tolerant and customizable for specific missions, as well as the ORA-Mini and ORA-Giga. The arms share a control software platform, perception stack, and joint architecture, with configurations sized for different missions. Orbital Robotics also offers Flight Suite, its software for controlling dexterity in space, alongside NavIQ and ASTRA-P. Together, these systems connect perception with robotic motion, supporting target segmentation, tracking, state estimation, and autonomous capture.

The company says its founders bring experience in developing and flying hardware, and that its flight software computes the maneuvers demonstrated by its systems. Orbital Robotics invites organizations with orbital targets to request a capture demonstration.
