Obruta Space Solutions Corp. (Ottawa, Ontario) is creating the foundational infrastructure to support the emerging on-orbit services economy. They envision a future in which satellites sustainably occupy the orbital environment and no longer operate under a single-use mentality. To achieve this, Obruta is equipping satellites with their Puck interface for both terrestrial and in-space servicing. Additionally, Obruta is providing the necessary services to extend and enhance their mission lifespans.
Obruta's technology focuses on connections for satellite docking and on-orbit servicing, and both active and end-of-life space debris deorbiting methods.
Awarded a contribution through the Space Technology Development Program of Canadian Space Agency for a Novel Multi-Target Space Debris Removal Technology Feasibility Study.
