Deep Space
Exploration

Deep space exploration at Stardour is a multi-generational search for understanding the meaning, expanse & secrets of what drives the universe around us. We are unsettled by the fact that our current understanding of everything around us is inadequate and tailored to fit everyday reality.

A step in this direction is our StarZipper, an Orbital Transfer Vehicle capable of delivering commercial & science missions to beyond earth, interplanetary and deep space trajectories. 

Our Focus

We are currently working on three configurations of
Orbital Transfer Vehicle with different capabilities.

The inaugural qualification launch of the proposed Orbital Transfer Vehicle will be in 2027. The planned
demonstrator mission involves launching the Orbital Transfer Vehicle to the parking orbit and in-orbit testing of the vehicle in space.

Satellite as a Service Model Capable of carrying payloads (CubeSats/Small satellites) to specific orbit as per customer’s requirements from parking orbit in LEO.

Lunar transportation service Capable of carrying payloads to lunar/cislunar trajectory space from parking orbit in LEO.

Deep space transportation service Capable of carrying payloads to interplanetary trajectories and deep space missions from parking orbit in LEO.
