The maintenance stack.
Six products, ordered by evidence: inspection serves every operator, node logistics serves the sealed-and-replace majority, dexterous service goes where hardware is designed for it - with a depot and a software brain above the whole fleet.
Scout
Scout is the eyes of the fleet. It lives docked at the constellation it serves and does what flyby imaging structurally cannot: sub-meter-standoff thermal and visible diagnostics, persistent station-keeping observation, and safe operation inside dense clusters where neighbors sit 100-200 m apart. Every survey feeds the servicing loop - inspect, decide, repair - which no imaging-only vendor can close.
- Sub-meter standoff diagnostics - beyond flyby imaging
- Formation-safe autonomy inside 100-200 m node spacing
- Comms-loss visual verification and change detection
- Space domain awareness missions for government customers
Seven machinable 6061-T6 parts with real hole patterns, counterbores, and drilled gas passages - the flat-floor prototype a job shop can quote today. STEP downloads: hex-plate · side-panel · pod-manifold · nozzle-insert · berth-cup · port-lance · mock-port-plate
Porter
Porter is the workhorse for how scaled operators actually behave: sealed-and-replace. A failed node today waits roughly four months for the next rideshare slot; Porter restores the rack in hours from a depot magazine. Launch costs will fall - time-to-restore, tech-refresh logistics, and deorbit compliance are the value that survives cheap launch.
- Whole-node swap - hours to restore, not months
- Deorbit-compliance and salvage handoff
- Dispenser-to-constellation node placement
- Capture via flight-proven docking plates - adopt, don't invent
Tender
Tender does the hands-on work - for operators who design for it. A 7-DOF micro-manipulator with quick-change tooling exchanges the subsystems that actually fail (power electronics, thermal units, link terminals) and performs in-place tech-refresh: swapping compute modules ahead of node design life to chase the GPU generation curve. Orbit-proven data says compute itself has radiation margin - the business is culprit subsystems and upgrades, not dead chips.
- Culprit-subsystem ORU exchange - power, thermal, links
- In-place compute tech-refresh ahead of design life
- MMOD shield patching
- OSP serviceable-module spec - fills IERIIS classes vacant since 2019
Sentinel
Sentinel applies the same bus, propulsion, and autonomy stack to protection: persistent escort for high-value assets, custody monitoring of unknown objects, and counter-inspection - capabilities the defense market is funding today. Sentinel alone carries unprepared-target capture, the flight-proven capability government servicing contracts now explicitly require; the commercial fleet stays prepared-interface only.
- Persistent escort for high-value assets
- Custody monitoring and counter-inspection
- Encrypted tasking with allied ground networks
- Common bus with Scout and Tender - one supply chain
Dock
Dock is where the fleet lives: berthing bays for Scouts and Porters, a propellant farm, and a magazine of spare compute nodes. It earns its place when a constellation's continuous fault-arrival rate outruns what launch-on-demand sorties can serve - at that point a resident depot is simply the cheapest way to keep your fleet maintained.
- Three berthing bays with recharge and refuel
- Propellant farm for fleet cold-gas resupply
- Spare-node magazine for Porter logistics
- Comm relay between fleet, nodes, and ground
Foreman
Foreman is the brain above the fleet - and the first product an operator can buy, before any drone flies. Terrestrial fleets absorb most faults in software (page offlining alone cut memory error rates 67% in production); Foreman applies the same triage to orbit: model degradation per node, decide what gets fixed in software, what gets a Scout look, and what gets a Porter swap.
- Digital twin and degradation model per node
- Work-queue triage: software fix vs. inspect vs. swap
- Closes the loop - telemetry and imagery in, servicing dispatch out
- Evidence packs for operators and government customers
