Great to be invited by @alliance_socal at the @SpaceWERXDOD to pitch at the SoCal Innovation Summit.
Hey, who ordered propellers?
Our robot R&D goes down to the basic building blocks where physical testing is everything.
Details like this make ORB extra responsive when completing repetitive cargo ops, inspection, and filming inside space stations and orbital warehouses.

𝐀𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭 and 𝐀𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐚𝐦 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢 were developed by NASA JSC as robotic camera scouts, spotting problems that previously required complex spacewalks.

Billions of dollars in space infrastructure is being built without a way to maintain or upgrade it long-term.
𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐱𝐨-𝐎𝐑𝐁. While independent servicers just visit, our Exo-ORB launches with your infrastructure and lives on it.

Congrats SpaceX on a epic shot!
@ORBES is building our micro satellite Exo-ORB to provide 3rd person POV shots like this to all space infrastructure.
Soon this will be common for all of humanity's most ambitious missions. Let's talk @NASAAdmin @NASA
We've been busy.
ORB is our first product: a free-flying robot to assist astronauts inside the space station and extend operations for crewed and un-crewed missions.
Follow our journey to bring ORB to the ISS, future space stations and crewed capsules. @NASAArtemis @NASAAdmin
ALT 3 images left to right progress of the ORB free-flying space robot. The robots are around the size of a watermelon. From a 1 degree string test with 14 propellors, to one with 12 propellors, with 4 per axis, to camera payloads from Blackmagic Design and some yet-to-be-announced major media players.
On the one year anniversary of our first investment, a glimpse at ORBES history: our first 6 months
On a journey to build robots to film & maintain space infrastructure. From inside to outside our most ambitious structures.
To all who've touched this mission, thank you!
We're so excited for the Artemis crew to take the new Earthrise photo.
58 years ago, Bill Anders turned his head to the window and exclaimed
"Oh my God, look at that picture over there! There's the Earth coming up. Wow, is that pretty!"
"You got a color film, Jim?"
They have brought three Nikon cameras:
Two D5s (one with a 14-24mm wide lens to capture the whole Moon, an another with 80-400mm zoom lens for the details) and a Nikon Z9 with a 35mm lens.
During the fly-by, they will dim the capsule lights to get the best picture.
Beautiful shot @blueorigin!
@ORBES_space is making this possible for all kinds of space missions. Reach out
