D-Orbit
Operates orbital transfer vehicles for last-mile satellite delivery, hosted payload services, space cloud computing, and in-orbit servicing
D-Orbit provides space logistics and orbital transportation services through its proprietary ION Satellite Carrier, an orbital transfer vehicle that transports satellites from their launch orbit to precise operational slots. The company has completed 21 orbital transportation missions, deploying over 137 satellites and hosting 77 payloads across LEO, SSO, and GEO orbits. ION reduces the time from launch to operations by up to 85% and enables constellation operators to phase satellites along orbital planes without waiting for dedicated launches.
Beyond deployment, D-Orbit offers hosted payload services for in-orbit testing, space cloud computing with edge processing and AI acceleration, satellite-as-a-service for turnkey mission management, and Aurora, a cloud-based mission control software suite. The company is developing GEA, a robotic spacecraft for in-orbit servicing including life extension, debris removal, and satellite repair, with the ESA-backed RISE demonstration mission planned for 2029 in geostationary orbit. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Italy, D-Orbit trades on NASDAQ under the ticker DOBT and operates offices in Portugal, Greece, the UK, and the United States. In 2025, the company acquired Planetek Italia to add AI-powered data processing and cloud-based space application capabilities.
