Space-Tech / Orbital Logistics

Move cargo between orbits.
Reliably. On schedule.

PAVE Space builds propulsion systems and in-space transfer infrastructure for satellite operators who can't afford to guess.

The plumbing layer for low-Earth orbit

Satellites get launched into one orbit. Mission requirements often demand another. Until now, repositioning a spacecraft meant burning precious onboard propellant — or abandoning the mission profile altogether. PAVE Space solves that with dedicated transfer vehicles and modular propulsion systems built for repeated use.

Transfer Vehicles

Reusable orbital transfer vehicles that carry payloads between LEO, MEO, and GEO orbits on demand. Designed for multi-mission profiles with standardized docking interfaces.

Propulsion Modules

Bolt-on propulsion packs compatible with most commercial satellite buses. Electric and chemical variants covering delta-v requirements from 50 m/s to 1.5 km/s.

Mission Planning Software

Trajectory optimization tools that model orbital mechanics, debris avoidance corridors, and regulatory windows. Output integrates directly with spacecraft on-board computers via CCSDS-compatible telecommand.

Infrastructure doesn't scale on reserved propellant

Every kilogram of fuel a satellite carries at launch costs roughly €8,000 to orbit. Operators are making compromise mission plans just to keep enough propellant for end-of-life deorbit.

PAVE Space removes that constraint. Our transfer vehicles carry the fuel. Satellites focus on their mission. Operators stop paying launch rates for propellant they shouldn't need to carry.
