The otter – Starfish Space
Rotate device
Otter is there, on call and ready to support.
It’s the first of its kind: a small and affordable servicing vehicle that can perform satellite life extension and disposal.
Satellite Life Extension
Running out of fuel? Our Otter will dock with your satellite and, like a jetpack, use its own fuel to keep your satellite operational in Geostationary orbit.
Satellite Disposal
Otter reliably and safely disposes defunct satellites that pose a collision risk to other satellites, and take up valuable orbital slots.
Our technology makes Otter one-of-a-kind.
Groundbreaking guidance and control software. Binocular computer vision for navigation. A docking device that adheres to virtually any flat surface.
Our innovative technologies enable autonomous Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, and Docking (RPOD) missions, and can work with any flight software stack.
Cetacean
OUR NAVIGATION SOFTWARE
Otter’s eyes. Our computer vision navigation software integrates with off-the-shelf sensors to provide accurate relative position, velocity, and attitude information, allowing Otter to safely navigate to its destination: your satellite.
Cephalopod
OUR GUIDANCE AND CONTROL SOFTWARE
Our game changer. An autonomous guidance and control software, with critical built-in safety features, that enables complex RPOD missions. Great things do come in small packages.
Nautilus
OUR DOCKING DEVICE
How Otter attaches to your satellite. A reusable system that works on virtually any flat surface and in any orbit. No need to add a docking interface to your satellite – Nautilus will dock with it even if it was never designed for docking.
Our vision for Otter and beyond
Otter specializes in satellite life extension and disposal, but this is just the beginning. We envision our technology having far-reaching implications and massive impact: performing in-space inspection, orbital relocation, and logistics services, as well as conducting repairs, component upgrades, and in-space assembly and manufacturing.
