  • RAVEN is designed to carry 150 to 200 kilograms of propellant and dock with RAFTI-equipped spacecraft.
  • NEST is designed as an orbital depot that stores propellant and resupplies RAVEN for follow-on missions.
  • First launches of the two vehicle types are planned for 2030.

Orbit Fab develops spacecraft refuelling infrastructure, including docking interfaces and in-space propellant services. Its logistics layer supports autonomous satellite operations and resilient space supply chains.
