ABOUT

Rogue Space Systems designs, builds, and operates autonomous orbital robots called Orbots for payload hosting, in-space compute, inspection, space domain awareness, and in-space logistics. The company's Scalable Compute Platform provides edge computing and AI processing capabilities on orbit, with the third-generation version delivering 248 TOPS of AI compute.

The company has flown two missions: Barry-1, a 3U CubeSat demonstration launched in November 2023, and OTP-2, an 8U platform actively hosting customer software payloads in sun-synchronous orbit since March 2025. Upcoming missions include OTP-2B in 2026 with a micro data center and Ka-band communications, twin ESPA-class Orbots in 2027 demonstrating autonomous rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking, and the full-scale Orbot-3 in 2028 featuring a grappling arm, refueling port, and pluggable payload containerization.

Headquartered in Laconia, New Hampshire, Rogue serves both commercial and defense customers, holding contracts with the Space Rapid Capabilities Office and multiple SpaceWERX SBIR/STTR awards. The company's roadmap extends to satellite servicing, life extension, orbital refueling, and in-space manufacturing.
