New kind of aerospace company dedicate to building the “transcontinental railroad of space”.
Today: TransAstra is moving satellites between orbits with space tugs powered by the Sun and propelled with water. Tomorrow: We'll sustainably harvest resources from the Moon and asteroids and change the course of history.
- Trash capture: The first of the two grants was awarded through NASA’s Ignite program, which provides $150k grants at Phase I to help prepare technology for commercialization. The funding will go towards developing an inflatable orbital debris capture system called the Mini Bee Capture Bag. The capture bag will be designed to capture debris of any shape. The prototype will be designed to capture debris around 10cm in diameter, but the company says it will be able to scale to capture much larger objects.
- Eyes in space: TransAstra has partnered with ground telescopes to implement its Sutter telescope technology, which uses Optimized Matched Filter Tracking (OMFT) to help telescopes identify very faint, fast-moving objects in the sky. The company will use the DoD grant to tweak this program to work from space. Ideally, in the end, the US Space Force will be able to add Sutter technology to its spacecraft to cheaply and easily augment its SSA capabilities in orbit.
WORKER BEE™ SPACE TUG
- Under the $850,000 Phase 2 Small Business Innovation Research contract, TransAstra will build an inflatable capture bag and demonstrate on the ground how the device, which uses inflatable struts to open and close, would envelop a noncooperative object.
- A recent study completed by TransAstra and space infrastructure startup ThinkOrbital proposes transporting debris or defunct satellites to an on-orbit processing plant.
- TransAstra and Think Orbital propose launching capture bags in TransAstra Worker Bee spacecraft. After moving into the orbit of the targeted debris, the Worker Bee would transport the debris to ThinkOrbital’s ThinkPlatform.

- Delta-V beyond 10 km/s with 10 ton payloads
- Optimized for H2O, N2H4 NH3 or LH2 propellent
- Launch with 14 tons of LH2, refill tanks with 100 tons of asteroid water
- Delivered two massive GEOs on a single launch in days
- CAPABILITY
GEO AND CISLUNAR SATELLITE DEPLOYMENT
Worker Bee is the fastest and most affordable way to deliver satellites to GEO. While electric propulsion systems can take several months from GTO to GEO, Worker Bee can do it in a few weeks at a fraction of the cost. Electric propulsion can take a year to get a satellite to lunar orbit, while Worker Bee can do it in a few months.
PAYLOAD HOSTING
Worker Bees are full-service, purpose-built spacecraft that can operate across LEO, MEO, GEO, cislunar orbits and in deep space, making them extremely adaptable throughout the entire duration of an operation. TransAstra handles all aspects of the spacecraft design, manufacture, launch, and operation of the mission, allowing industrial and government customers to focus on their missions of operating the payload rather than the nuts and bolts of space logistics.

Commercial Development of Active Debris Remediation (ADR) Services
Mini Bee Capture Bag for Active Debris Remediation
- The exponential growth of the number of satellites and debris in orbit drives an urgent need for orbital debris removal for both the public and the private sector.
- TransAstra is developing a breakthrough inflatable capture bag technology, the Mini Bee™ Capture Bag (MBCB), which provides a solution to the Active Debris Removal problem.
- MBCB will enable object capture and deorbit missions with lower complexity and cost than any alternative and fills the commercial need of protecting the burgeoning space economy from the rapid proliferation of dangerous orbital debris.
- MBCB is superior because it can capture non-cooperative spacecraft or debris of arbitrary shape without hardware accommodations such magnetic components or grapple fixtures. For these reasons, satellite manufacturers and constellation developers are turning to TransAstra’s MBCB as a solution.
- TransAstra has begun collaboration on the MBCB with various private companies based on its potential to solve the orbital debris problem for multiple types of objects. MBCB’s flexibility makes it widely applicable to a broad range of debris removal and hazardous objects capture scenarios.
- Initially suitable for flight on a ride-share class, in-space logistics vehicle launched into LEO, the MCBC system provides a deployable inflatable capture bag that is capable of fully enclosing small spacecraft for repositioning and de-orbiting.
- MBCB technology can later scale to much larger sizes and can thus serve growing commercial and defense needs with no technical changes to the architecture. This SBIR proposal matures the inflatable capture bag and proximity operations technology of MBCB.
As of early 2023, the focus is on space tugs and space domain awareness telescopes.
