Orbit Fab was founded to eliminate the single-use spacecraft paradigm with in-space refueling. CEO Daniel Faber shares the vision for gas stations in space.
Summary
Orbit Fab was founded in 2018 to eliminate the single-use spacecraft paradigm with in-space refueling. Spacecraft are still limited to the amount of fuel they are launched with, which limits flexibility and poses long-term risks to the space environment. The company proved their concept during their mission to resupply water to the ISS, and they later launched the first commercial fuel depot into LEO.
