βœ“

The LEO Challenge

Satellites face constant threats that erode operational life and increase costs. Without proactive servicing, operators lose months of revenue and face exponentially higher replacement expenses.

πŸ“‰

Orbital Decay

Satellites lose altitude daily due to atmospheric drag. Without intervention, operational life drops by months or years.

β›½

Fuel Constraints

On-board propellant is finite. Every unnecessary maneuver shortens mission duration and operational flexibility.

πŸ’₯

Collision Risk

Growing debris population increases conjunction alerts. Each maneuver must balance service needs with SSA coordination.

πŸ”§

Service Degradation

Attitude errors and power issues accumulate over time. Early detection and correction prevent cascading failures.

πŸ“Š

Insurance Pressure

Underwriters demand proof of active maintenance and risk mitigation. No audit trail = higher premiums or coverage denial.

πŸ’°

Replacement Costs

Building and launching a new satellite costs tens to hundreds of millions. Life extension delivers 10-100x ROI.

The Opportunity

Safe life-extension and OPEX savings through precision service windows and on-demand orbital maintenance. Every month of extended operation delivers immediate ROI while reducing space debris risk and insurance costs.

The Dorbita Solution

A comprehensive platform combining intelligent planning with physical servicing capabilities.

πŸ“Š

πŸ” Second Opinion: Why This Assessment?

Ξ”V Required

2.3 m/s (15% below fleet avg)

Time to Rendezvous

4.2 hours (optimal)

SSA Risk

Low - 0 conjunctions in Β±24h

Link Visibility

98% GS coverage during maneuver

Energy/Thermal

Full illumination, thermal nominal

Business Priority

Priority 1 - Contract renewal window

Demo uses simulated but realistic data. Production system integrates live TLE/OD feeds, SSA alerts, and GS networks.

Service Opportunity Score (SOS)

Transparent, quantitative scoring that combines technical feasibility, safety, and business priorities.

How We Calculate SOS (0–100)

SOS = 0.25Β·f₁ + 0.15Β·fβ‚‚ + 0.25Β·(1βˆ’f₃) + 0.15Β·fβ‚„ + 0.10Β·fβ‚… + 0.10Β·f₆
f₁

Ξ”V Efficiency (25% weight)

Less Ξ”V = better. Normalized against fleet baseline. Minimizes fuel consumption and extends servicer lifetime.

fβ‚‚

Time to Rendezvous (15% weight)

Faster = better. Reduces exposure to conjunctions and mission risk. Typical range: 4-12 hours.

f₃

SSA Risk (25% weight)

Fewer conjunction alerts = better. Inverted score (1βˆ’f₃) so low risk = high contribution. Includes COLA buffer analysis.

fβ‚„

Link Visibility (15% weight)

Ground-station pass quality during maneuver. Higher coverage = better telemetry and abort capability.

fβ‚…

Energy/Thermal (10% weight)

Solar illumination and thermal margins. Full sun = better power and thermal stability during maneuver.

f₆

Business Priority (10% weight)

SLA urgency, penalty risk, contract renewal windows. Customer-defined priorities integrated into scoring.

Go / No-Go Thresholds

80–100
BEST

Optimal conditions. Proceed with confidence.

65–79
GOOD

Acceptable. Minor trade-offs balanced.

50–64
FAIR

Marginal. Requires expert review.

<50
POOR

High risk. Defer or alternative strategy.

Uncertainty & Confidence Bands

All SOS values include Β±3Οƒ confidence intervals based on:

  • β€’Orbit determination accuracy β€” TLE vs high-precision OD feeds
  • β€’Drag model uncertainty β€” Solar activity variations (F10.7, Kp)
  • β€’Conjunction probability β€” Covariance propagation from SSA data
  • β€’GS visibility prediction β€” Weather, maintenance windows

Example: SOS = 87 Β±5 means 99.7% confidence the true score is between 82–92. We display the band visually and flag high-uncertainty windows for operator review.

🌍 Sustainability First

Space operations must be sustainable. We prioritize debris mitigation, end-of-life responsibility, and lifecycle thinking.

🚫

Zero Fragmentation

All maneuvers designed to avoid creating debris. Cooperative capture only (Phase I). Non-cooperative handled with extreme caution and regulatory approval (Phase II+).

πŸ›¬

End-of-Life De-orbit

Dorbita OSV includes passivation and controlled de-orbit at mission end. We follow IADC and FCC 25-year guidelinesβ€”aiming to exceed them.

πŸ”‹

Passivation Protocol

All serviced satellites receive passivation checks: battery discharge, propellant venting, spin stabilization if needed.

βš—οΈ

Propellant Policy

Hybrid propulsion (electric + chemical) minimizes toxic propellant use. Green propellants preferred where mission allows. All tanks designed for passivation.

♻️

Lifecycle View

We track environmental impact from manufacturing through deorbit:

  • βœ“Launch emissions offset: Partner with carbon-neutral launch providers where possible
  • βœ“Servicer reusability: Design for 50+ interventions per OSV unit
  • βœ“Material selection: Minimize hazardous materials, maximize recyclability post-reentry
  • βœ“Transparency: Annual sustainability report with debris metrics and compliance audits

Our Commitment

By 2030, we aim to have extended the operational life of 100+ satellites, preventing premature replacements and avoiding an estimated 5,000+ tons of COβ‚‚-equivalent emissions from unnecessary launches.

βš–οΈ Compliance & Safety

Space operations demand regulatory rigor. We proactively coordinate with authorities and maintain audit-ready documentation.

πŸ“‘

STM / SSA Coordination

Real-time integration with Space-Track, commercial SSA providers, and national authorities. All maneuvers logged and shared per STM best practices.

🚧

Keep-Out Zones

Respect ISS, crewed vehicles, and customer-defined exclusion zones. Automated checks prevent scheduling conflicts.

πŸ“

Maneuver Logging

Every planned and executed maneuver logged with timestamps, Ξ”V, operator ID, and approval chain. Immutable audit trail for regulators.

πŸ“»

Spectrum / TT&C

Frequency coordination per ITU guidelines. TT&C handoff protocols documented and tested. Customer maintains command authority at all times.

πŸ›‚
