Pioneering Space Debris Solutions and Technology
Orbotic Systems was created to address the growing threat of space debris. After investigating solutions from both a business and technical perspective, Orbotic Systems was born. The goal of Orbotic Systems is to safely advance human progress in space with innovative business methods and new technology.
We reduce space debris with our cost-effective, propellant-free D3 device, meeting FCC deorbiting regulations.
We advance human progress in LEO with innovative space technology, focusing on debris remediation and satellites.

Our Product
Focus on Your Mission And Leave the Deorbiting to Us.
Orbotic Systems, Inc. Introduces the Deorbit Drag Device, the D3. Our device provides a safe, cost-effective method to speed up spacecraft disposal after its mission science is complete.
D3 modulates spacecraft drag force, while controlling orientation and orbital decay. It can be used to maneuver a satellite or constellation, deorbit a satellite, and target the re-entry location. D3 does this passively, without any rocket propellant, making it the ideal deorbit solution.
