Product/Service - Space Tug

Classification: In-Space Transportation

Category: Space Tug
Transport Service (LEO-GEO)

Fields: In-Space Transportation
Transport Service (In-Space)

Status: Development

First launch: 2025

The design of the space tug is based on the upper stage of the Skyrora XL vehicle, with adaptations that will allow it the technology to survive in a space environment.

The Space Tug is designed to be compatible with both the upper stage of the launch vehicle as well as the payload technology in order to enable a partner launch vehicle.

The maneuverable third stage of the Skyrora XL launch vehicle or Space Tug will offer an abundance of environmental benefits. The Space Tug will allow multiple payloads to be deployed into their chosen orbits from the same launch, minimising the environmental impact of rocket launch by reducing the number of launches required to operate.
