We’ll be back soon.
Until now satellites have been designed as highly integrated machines, with a single use and purpose, and with mass optimization and cost as main drivers.
Small satellites have been developed as an answer to the need to reduce space mission costs but face strong limitations inherent to size in terms of power, data rate, computation capabilities, and lifetime.
With the advent of reusable launchers, and the exponential increase in launch mass capacity and the lower cost per kg in orbit, we introduce a new concept: large powerful spacecraft designed for mission global economic efficiency over long lifetimes.
Our platform and payload are separate elements to exploit the high capacity while allowing modularity, flexibility, and reusability in space.
A new category of spacecraft. A new orbital paradigm.

> Lower cost, ease of access, faster time to orbit and
streamlined operations.
> A powerful and flexible satellite platform, allowing fast technological hardware upgrade in space and dynamic resources’ allocation.
> Ease of access: monitor and control payloads directly and transparently through our ground segment.
> Lower commissioning effort and timing: embark the payloads on flight proven/flight functional platform already in space.
> Foster sustainability: ensure orbital slot and compliance with debris disposal regulation. Make an efficient use of a reusable orbital asset.
> Increase resilience and reduce risk: payloads are reallocated in case of platform failure, the platform is still operational in case of payload failure.
In 2026 we will launch our first Reusable Satellite and Dockable Payload Bay: a six-months mission for up to 100 kg of payload in Sun-Synchronous Low Earth Orbit.
Payload Capacity: Up to 100 kg
Duration: 6 months to 24 months
Cost: starting <€500 per kg, per month
Launch Date: Q4 2026
Established in 2023, Orbital Paradigm was born from a vision to reshape what a space mission looks like. With almost 30 years of combined expertise in both traditional and new space companies, we work hard to make our vision reality.
