Obruta awarded C$1M CSA STDP for Modular and Scalable RPOD System
39 FOMOThe Canadian Space Agency awarded Obruta Space Solutions a C$1 million non-repayable contribution under the Space Technology Development Program for the project “Modular and Scalable RPOD System: Validation and Testing for Next-Generation Space Missions.” The work builds directly on the 17-month Astrobee software test campaign completed in summer 2025, advances hardware sensor integration and overall system TRL, and funds a new RPOD test facility. Goal is preparation for an inaugural full-scale spaceflight mission.
