About
Worker Bee™ is TransAstra’s in-space tug spacecraft powered by the patented Omnivore™ solar thermal propulsion system. Omnivore can use almost any volatile liquid — including water extracted from asteroids or orbital depots — as propellant, enabling efficient movement across vast distances in space. Solar thermal propulsion rivals nuclear rocket performance while using clean, renewable energy from concentrated sunlight, making it ideally suited for long-duration cislunar and deep-space operations. The Worker Bee / Omnivore combination is central to TransAstra’s mission to enable cost-effective in-space logistics and asteroid resource transport.
