Spaceium launches orbital refueling actuator on Transporter-15
Spaceium launched its first in-space demonstration hardware, a precision robotic actuator for autonomous propellant transfer, aboard D-Orbit's ION spacecraft on SpaceX Transporter-15.
Evidence notes
- The Nicolò payload carried a precision robotic actuator intended for autonomous propellant transfer in orbit.
- D-Orbit hosted the payload aboard an ION spacecraft launched on SpaceX's Transporter-15 mission.
- The launch gave Spaceium's refueling hardware flight heritage and began its first in-space test campaign.
Company context
Spaceium builds automated infrastructure for in-space refueling and repair. Its planned service stations store propellant and use a modular robotic arm to grapple customer spacecraft, align transfer connections and exchange tools or hardware.
