First launch
2024

Space based manufacturing company that is building machines to produce the space infrastructure of the future. In-Space Mobility will transform and accelerate the development of space economy.

Optimus-1, the largest commercial satellite under construction in Australia, is an orbital transfer vehicle providing cost-effective insertion of small satellites into low Earth orbit.

Space Machines confirmed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to test the deployment of nanosatellites from Fleet Space Technologies in 2022.

Four Australian Start-ups have been added to Space Machines Companys’ (SMC) growing list of customers for the launch of its Optimus demonstration platform in 2022. The organisations include Spiral Blue (who are providing the onboard computing for space imagery), Esper Satellite Imagery, which specialise in hyperspectral imagery, Internet of Things (IoT) Provider, Dandelions and robotic arm company, Sperospace.

Secured SpaceX as a launch provider to carry its Optimus Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV) to space as part of its April 2023 rideshare mission. The mission will demonstrate the 270-kg Optimus OTV’s in-space logistics services and reinforce SMC’s role as a last-mile delivery services provider.

Our services

Where we’re headed:

Space Machines Company and Spaceium are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership, set to embark on the first-ever cryogenic refueling mission in space in 202, 2024-01-15.

As of late 2023, the first launch of Optimus OTV is now scheduled for 2024.
