We’re excited to start this journey together with you, Rider Szolkowski!
I'm excited to share that I started a new role as a Mechanical Engineer at Orbit Fab!
Orbit Fab envisions a thriving in-space market for products and services that support both existing space businesses (communications and Earth observation) and new industries like space tourism, manufacturing, and mining. The first step is achieving ubiquitous availability of satellite propellant in Earth orbit, expanding the operational potential of new and existing space assets and providing unprecedented business model flexibility for satellite owners. The future for satellites is no longer restricted to the fuel they are launched with. It is about getting the fuel and other materials they need, where and when they need it, to accomplish things never before thought possible.

📢BIG NEWS: One small step closer to in-orbit refuelling 🚀 We’re excited to share that our UK team has been awarded over £2 million in grants and contracts with the UK Space Agency. This has fuelled our expansion in the UK, tripling the size of our team, with more set to come. The projects include a major grant to design and qualify a high-pressure variant of the RAFTI™ (Rapidly Attachable Fuel Transfer Interface) refuelling interface, set to be available in 2025. The new variant will enable refuelling with pressurised fuels such as Xenon, promoting more sustainable space operations – reducing the need for single-use satellites 🛰️ Discover more about our journey and what this means for the future of Orbit Fab UK 👉 https://lnkd.in/ej7UWsMR A massive thankyou to our UK team and partners, including the UK Space Agency, for all their hard work. #IOSM #BigWins #GrowingTeam #SpaceSustainability #FIA2024 #FarnboroughAirshow2024 #InOrbitRefuelling
We’re excited to be exhibiting at the Farnborough International Airshow as part of the UKspace and UK Space Agency stand on Tuesday, 23rd July 🛩️🚀 Stand 4505 is where we'll be - meet our leaders (Daniel Faber and Jacob Geer) and the UK team, chat all things in-orbit refuelling, get hands on with our tech and learn how to obtain a RAFTI for your satellite! Teaser alert - we’ve got some UK news to share, watch this… “space” 😉 📍 Where: UK Space Stand (Stand Number 4505, Hall 4) 📅 When: Tuesday, 23rd July DM us if you’d like to meet with one of our team while we’re there. #FarnboroughAirshow2024 #FIA2024 #UKSA #InOrbitRefuelling #Announcement #RAFTI #SpaceSustainability
GRIP automated docking test complete. One drop of fuel changes everything! https://lnkd.in/gi5mmfxv
We are #hiring an Embedded Flight Software Engineer, know anyone who might be interested? https://lnkd.in/g-mVa4S4
Love to see the grappling demonstration with RAFTI and the PickNik Robotics MoveIt Pro.
How does MoveIt Pro handle grasping when the object may be misaligned or in motion? Together with Orbit Fab we answered that question in a compliant grappling demonstration for satellite capture. Watch MoveIt Pro's admittance control capabilities in action as we perform force-based interaction with a RAFTI fuelling and docking interface. https://lnkd.in/gxsmqQyA
We're so happy to have you as part of our team this summer, Chris!
I'm excited to announce that I have begun my summer internship at Orbit Fab as a Mechanical Engineering Intern! Orbit Fab is pioneering the way for spacecraft refueling, and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to their mission of creating a thriving in-space economy. I look forward to learning from the talented team here and growing both personally and professionally. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. Stay tuned for updates on my adventures in the world of space tech!
