Join a Pathfinder Mission
Orbit2Orbit’s Pathfinder program offers limited hosted payload opportunities for partners to test hardware, sensors, and materials in near-space conditions.
Fly your technology on a Stratoship high-altitude platform and gather real flight data before going to orbit — at a fraction of the cost.
Validate. Learn. Launch smarter.
Mission 0 begins with a series of Pathfinder flights in collaboration with Stratoship, testing Orbit2Orbit’s key subsystems and partner technologies in near-space conditions. These flights double as hosted payload opportunities, giving organizations the chance to validate hardware and collect real flight data ahead of full orbital deployment.
The first step toward autonomous, reusable logistics in orbit.
Mission O is our proof-of-concept. An early orbital testbed designed to validate the core systems that will power Orbit2Orbit’s logistics network. It’s not flashy. It doesn’t carry cargo. But it matters.
This mission tests the fundamentals:
Controlled orbital maneuvering using our custom Resist1 propulsion system
Docking alignment between two passive units
Material and systems validation in microgravity
Early architecture for autonomous navigation and vehicle safety
We’re not trying to impress the world with Mission O.
We’re trying to impress the vacuum of space with a vehicle that works, flies, and proves that Orbit2Orbit’s approach is real.
Expected to launch in 2026, Mission O is our handshake with orbit.
