Bringing Autonomy to Space
Since the 1980s, from when astronauts have manually docked to satellites like that of the historic Westar 6 retrieval mission, space operations have evolved tremendously. Yet, autonomous satellite docking, servicing, and life-extension still seem like distant dreams. At Aule, we are turning those dreams into reality. Our innovative RPOD (Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, and Docking) technology is poised to revolutionize space, making autonomous servicing and satellite life-extension commonplace.
Discover our capabilitiesYOUR PIT CREW IN SPACE
There are ~400 commercial GEO communication satellites generating $100B+ in value annually including downstream businesses.
We are unlocking the new space capabilities to increase lifespan and revenue of these satellites, facilitating novel system architectures.
