Infinite Orbits
Overview
Builds, owns and operates GEO servicer spacecraft, selling life-extension, inspection and end-of-life services to satellite operators and defense customers under multi-year contracts.
Moat: Its autonomous vision-based rendezvous navigation stack, matured on Orbit Guard — Europe's only commercial GEO-servicing smallsat line — is now locked in by a sovereign French defense framework contract that a non-EU competitor cannot bid.

Key Products
- Orbit Guardoperational
First commercial smallsat operating in GEO for close-range inspection; selected for France's PALADIN initiative under a €50M DGA framework contract.
- Endurancedevelopment
Life-extension vehicle providing up to 5 additional years of service; SES contract to extend a satellite from 2027.
- "Tom & Jerry"development
Two Open Cosmos platforms for a LEO space-domain-awareness close-approach demonstration, launch targeted mid-2027.
Near-term Catalysts
- 2026
Endurance first mission
Would be Europe's first commercial satellite life-extension mission, validating the entire revenue model.
- 2027
SES life-extension service start
First named blue-chip operator revenue.
- 2026
PALADIN / DGA Orbit Guard delivery
Converts a €50M ceiling framework contract into recognized revenue and anchors a sovereign defense line.
Top Risks
- Rendezvous and docking with un-prepared client satellites remains one of the hardest problems in spaceflight; RPO schedules slip routinely.
- Northrop Grumman's SpaceLogistics MEV is already flight-proven with multi-year Intelsat heritage.
- The GEO life-extension total addressable market is structurally shrinking as operators move to smaller, software-defined, shorter-life GEO fleets.
