Astron Space SmallSat Rideshare Program
Astron Space proudly presents Orbital Express — a premier small satellite rideshare service designed for SR2-class payload operators seeking a reliable, cost-effective, and flexible path to orbit. Whether launching a single CubeSat or deploying a constellation, Astron Space offers a seamless booking experience and mission support from start to orbit.
Reserve your flight directly through our website and take the first step in placing your satellite in space.
PHASE 01
Mission Reservation
Begin your journey by selecting your desired launch date, preferred deployment system, and payload specifications through our online booking portal.
Each port accommodates spacecraft up to 24 inches in diameter. For larger payloads, Astron Space offers custom mounting solutions and an optional top-deck slot upon request.
Port Options: 15 inch x 6, 24 inch x 4.
High Load Capability: Handle satellites with a mass of 10 – 1,500kg.
Once your reservation is approved, our experienced mission integration team will ensure your satellite is securely mounted using precision-engineered adapters. From there, final preparations begin for launch.
PHASE 02
Launch Operations with Pallas
Your payload will launch aboard Pallas, Astron Space’s state-of-the-art launch vehicle, from our dedicated facility on Droo.
Within minutes of liftoff, Pallas will ascend to an altitude exceeding 100 kilometers and reach speeds greater than 10,000 kilometers per hour. Upon reaching the designated deployment window, your satellite will be released into its specified orbit with exceptional accuracy.
To commemorate this milestone, Astron Space provides high-resolution video and imagery of your satellite’s launch and deployment — delivering not only performance, but a lasting visual record of your mission to space.
Please Note:
While Astron Space strives to maintain its scheduled launch timelines, unforeseen circumstances may occasionally result in mission delays. In the event of a delay, we remain committed to launching your payload at the earliest available opportunity.
Additionally, if your payload exceeds the maximum allowable mass or dimensional limits as specified in our technical guidelines, Astron Space reserves the right to cancel the reservation.
