New kind of aerospace company dedicate to building the “transcontinental railroad of space”.
- 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
Worker Bee 1
A rideshare compatible vehicle that carries satellite and payloads into low-Earth orbit
- CAPACITY - Up to 200kg of payload mass
- DESIGNED FOR - Low Earth Orbit
- PROPELLED BY OMNIVORE 1
- CAPABILITY
Worker Bee 2
- CAPACITY - Up to 2,000kg of payload mass
- DESIGNED FOR - LEO, MEO, GEO and lunar orbit
- PROPELLED BY OMNIVORE 2
- CAPABILITY
Worker Bee 3
The ultimate space tug capable of delivering massive payloads throughout deep space
- CAPACITY - Up to 30,000 kg of payload mass
- DESIGNED FOR - Deep space logistics and massive satellite delivery
- PROPELLED BY OMNIVORE 3
- The ultimate in-space transportation system
- Third generation proprietary materials
- Near nuclear rocket level performance at 1% the cost
- 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.
