Strategic Partnership will Develop ISAM, SSA Services
Science Applications International Corp. and Rogue Space Systems Corporation have formed a strategic partnership to develop solutions that provide rapidly deliverable In-Orbit Service Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM), asset inspection and Space Situational Awareness (SSA).
"This partnership with SAIC is accelerating Rogue's plans to seed industry-leading capabilities for ISAM services.”
Jeromy Grimmett, CEO of Rogue Space Systems.
SAIC will provide development and integration for Rogue’s fleet of Orbots. These orbital robots will deliver ISAM services to both commercial and government entities.
“Together, SAIC and Rogue bring unique skills and expertise that will support the growing demand for services in earth orbit, the cislunar domain and beyond,” said David Ray, senior vice president, Space Business Unit at SAIC. “At SAIC, we continue to participate in the growing global space market. Our mission critical support of space assets supports our national priorities and contributes to the infrastructure needed for the secure use of space.”
"From LEO to cislunar space, we are excited to partner with SAIC as we serve the growing demand for ISAM and SSA services,” said Jeromy Grimmett, CEO of Rogue Space Systems. “SAIC’s knowledge and expertise with U.S. government space organizations has been instrumental in helping us optimize our Orbots’ capabilities for a variety of applications. This partnership with SAIC is accelerating Rogue's plans to seed industry-leading capabilities for ISAM services.”
ISAM, SSA are Emerging Markets
As the primary space integrator for Rogue, SAIC will also help Rogue identify business development opportunities. Rogue is offering a unique portfolio of novel services for the emerging ISAM and SSA markets as evidenced by several SpaceWERX Orbital Prime contract awards.
Rouge's Laura 12U cubesat is designed for inspection and monitoring, with high-definition cameras and sensors. Complete with multispectral capabilities that extend customer insight and analysis without having to even come in physical contact with the target asset. The company's Fred propulsive ring has the ability to move satellites and other assets to and from different orbits, i.e. from GEO to the International Space Station in LEO, and for the occasional “jiggle” when needed, according to the company.
