About Rogue Space Systems

Rogue Space Systems is a Laconia, New Hampshire-based company developing a fleet of Orbital Robots called Orbots designed to provide diverse satellite servicing capabilities from inspection to transportation across LEO, MEO, and GEO orbits. Founded in 2020, the company has raised approximately $1.87 million in venture funding from investors including Seldor Capital as their first institutional investor, while securing over $7.5 million in government contracts from the US Air Force, US Space Force, AFWERX, National Science Foundation, and Air Force Research Laboratory. Their Orbot family includes three variants: Barry for inspection missions, Laura with enhanced capabilities, and Fred which combines the abilities of its siblings while adding robotic manipulation. Rogue has been awarded multiple SpaceWERX contracts including two Phase 2 contracts worth $3 million for developing a universal cubesat dispenser and a magnetic system for stabilizing tumbling space objects. The company has secured three AFWERX Phase II contracts totaling $7.5 million over 18 months for advancing in-orbit servicing technology. Rogue announced plans to develop Orbots in partnership with SAIC, a $7.4 billion government technology contractor, including cubesats for demonstration missions. The company is currently raising venture capital to support plans for their first satellite servicing mission by 2026. Rogue represents the New Space approach to satellite servicing, building modular, cost-effective platforms that can be rapidly deployed to extend satellite lifetimes and maintain space assets.
