The autonomous space mechanic.

S.U.P.E.R. is an autonomous robotic spacecraft that services, repairs, and refuels satellites already in orbit. No human pilot. No client modifications. No wasted hardware.

Satellites die young.
Billions of dollars with them.

Space is littered with stranded assets: satellites that failed early or ran out of propellant. Today there is no standard way to service them. That's a systemic failure we're here to fix.

Five stages.
One mission.

From initial detection to safe departure, S.U.P.E.R. executes a fully autonomous end-to-end servicing mission.

📡
1. Monitoring
Ground systems and onboard telemetry identify satellites in distress or approaching end-of-propellant.
🔍
2. Inspection
S.U.P.E.R. performs a close-proximity survey using LiDAR and camera systems to assess damage and docking feasibility.
🛸
3. Autonomous Rendezvous
AI-guided navigation closes the gap and secures a soft dock with the client satellite.
🔧
4. Repair
Robotic arms perform component swaps, refueling, power transfer, or structural repairs as needed.
🚀
5. Departure
S.U.P.E.R. safely undocks and repositions, ready for the next mission or to enter a parking orbit.

Engineered for
the harshest environment.

Every subsystem aboard S.U.P.E.R. is selected for reliability, performance, and the unforgiving demands of on-orbit operations.

Krypton Hall Thrusters

Electric propulsion system using krypton propellant for high specific impulse and precise orbital maneuvering throughout the mission lifecycle.

🦾

Dual Robotic Arm System

A precision gripper arm for delicate grasping operations paired with a multi-function Swiss-knife arm for servicing, fastening, and component manipulation.

👁️

LiDAR + Computer Vision

Fused sensor suite enabling centimeter-accurate pose estimation of uncooperative target satellites for safe autonomous rendezvous and docking.

LEON 4 Flight Computer

Radiation-hardened, space-qualified SPARC processor handling all critical flight functions with deterministic real-time performance.

🤖

NVIDIA Jetson Processor

Edge AI accelerator running real-time computer vision and navigation inference workloads with high throughput in a compact, low-power form factor.

🏗️

CFRP + Aluminum Honeycomb

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer over an aluminum honeycomb core provides an exceptional stiffness-to-mass ratio, surviving launch loads and thermal cycling.

Beyond a single
spacecraft.

We're not just designing a module — we're proposing an INDUSTRY STANDARD.

The space economy is scaling rapidly. Thousands of new satellites are launching every year. S.U.P.E.R. is laying the groundwork for a future where orbital infrastructure is maintained, extended, and never wasted.

🛡️

Protect

Inspection and anomaly detection before failure cascades. AI-assisted imaging identifies structural damage, debris impact, and failed components before they become total losses.

🔋

Extend

Life extension modules, station-keeping support, and refueling through standardized interfaces. Adding years to operational satellite lifespans.

🔧

Repair

Bounded robotic interventions on accessible external components. Module swaps, panel re-deployment, valve actuation, and refueling, fully autonomous.

The Market

A $4B+ on-orbit servicing market projected by 2030, across three customer segments.

LEO Constellation Operators
SpaceX Starlink, Amazon Kuiper, Telesat, OneWeb. Hundreds of satellites per operator. Even a 2% failure rate translates into enormous losses.
Government and Defence Agencies
DND Canada, NRO, DARPA. High-value assets that cannot be easily replaced. Larger contracts, longer cycles.
Satellite Manufacturers
Airbus, MDA, Surrey, GHGSat. License fee model for certifying hardware as S.U.P.E.R. compatible.
