Small Satellite Launch Brokering Services

Orbital Transports provides commercial launch brokering and mission management services for small satellite operators who need to access orbital launch without managing the procurement, legal, and logistics complexity themselves. The company aggregates demand from multiple satellite operators, negotiates rideshare slots with primary launch vehicle operators, and manages the end-to-end mission from payload interface agreement to orbital delivery confirmation.

Service offerings include: launch opportunity analysis (matching satellite specifications to available rideshare options on Falcon 9 Transporter, PSLV, H3, Vega-C, and others), payload interface documentation management (PIF/ICD), export control and ITAR compliance support, on-site launch site representation, and post-launch orbit confirmation. For small satellite teams without dedicated launch procurement expertise, Orbital Transports acts as a specialized intermediary.

The company targets university CubeSat programs, startup satellite companies on their first missions, and established commercial operators who prefer to outsource launch procurement. Launch brokering is a competitive market with providers including NanoRacks, Spaceflight (now Momentus), D-Orbit, and ISISPACE also offering similar aggregation services.
