Vision


  • The UAV of space, free to roam over all of LEO without propellant

  • Provides in-space situational awareness to complement ground observations

  • Can change its orbit from equatorial to polar, LEO to GTO, multiple times

  • A low-cost spacecraft based on many off-the-shelf components





Technology

 

LMV is based on our recent technology advances

  • Electrodynamic propulsion acts like a motor/generator in space

  • Patented system allows control of all orbital elements at will

  • Compact design allows 3 vehicles to fit into one secondary payload slot

  • Orbit changes of 150-275 km/day in altitude, 0.5-1.75°/day in inclination
